Most lenovo ThinkPads are certified to work with Ubuntu.
And (for me at least) there are no better laptops out there. They should have all of your needs covered. I would suggest going for the T540. It's awesome.

the Tx30 is "theoretically" previous generation, but the problem with the current generation of Thinkpads is the touchpad without buttons which is very bad (not like the macbook) as well as the fact that several of them have one ram slot soldered to the motherboard, so you cant upgrade.
Also, most of the processors seem underpowered. You will be able to find previous generation thinkpads for less than 800 euros.
Having said that, the Dell Latitudes are also fully compatible with Linux - but not as cool looking.
While flexibility is always going to be a geek plus its sort of a thing of the past.
Really happy with it. I bought a T440 for someone recently, which is also really nice however it seems the RAM is limited to 12GB max (too little for my use).
As an aside, the dual-batteries on the T440 are fantastic. Though you do need to remember to disconnect the internal one when doing any work inside the unit.
I'm not entirely pleased with the screen quality, but perhaps I've been spoiled by the IPS display on my personal laptop (Dell XPS 13) and my desktop monitor (Samsung S24C750PS).
My one complaint is that the keyboard isn't as robust as previous models. After only a few months I already have some keys which don't work without a firm push. I could sent it away for repair (or replace the keyboard myself) but I can't afford the downtime and tend to use an external mechanical keyboard when I'm not travelling anyway.
