That is a lie.  Linux *computers* are their whole business.  They have
desktops and servers as well as laptops, all with linux pre-installed, 
and if they list a piece of hardware as being part of the machine, it's got
linux support (some machines have unsupported features, but they don't
list those features as being included --- for example one laptop has a 
fingerprint reader that doesn't (yet) have a linux driver, and no mention
of its presence is made on the pages describing the laptop).
