I've bought a laptop recently, so maybe I can give few hints:

* If it has Linux variant, it is more likely to work with Qubes.
* Try to avoid dedicated GPU, especially if you want external monitor output. In some cases, it causes issues.
* If you get something quite new which refuses to work well with your hardware, try a new kernel from current-testing or unstable branch.

FWIW, considering the trade-off between marginally improved
performance and hardware support, I've had better overall experiences
with hardware that's 1-2 years old.

- Just some random guy on the internet's personal opinion...

linux hardware support is usually 1-2 years behind as general rule of thumb.

For Qubes I would just make sure it support vt-d/iommu in the manual.
