Make sure whatever you buy is certified *linux* compatible (and not a specific distro) and if it is not, make absolutely sure you tell the vendor you want it in order to run *linux* on. You then have some redress under the Sale of Goods Act (fit for purpose, knowingly sold for specific purpose).
AFIK the Sale fo Goods Act only applies to retail sales, not to business sales. So, if you are buying for yourself then fine, if commercially you have to be much more careful about the conditions of sale.
