SSD is a must. At least a good intel i5 or better.

If I was buying a dedicated Linux laptop, I'd get one of the new Dells with as much RAM and SSD space as you can afford. They actually support the OS.

For me the primary considerations are size (15) screen, graphics, and CPU in that order.
I don't really care about RAM, SSD, etc. I can change those myself. I want the best screen and graphics card I can get. Usually this coincides with the best CPU available. The rest is a minor concern. My current laptop, a few years old now, had a GTX 780m in it. Best I could do when I bought it. I can't even tell you what drive came with it. When I got it, I put in a 2TB platter drive and 3 of those little mSata SSD gadgets. 2 are raid0'd together for my boot drive. This stores my games and programs and such. The other is off by itself and it's basicaly a /users partition, but fiddled around a bit for windows. It's also got 16 GB ram that I selected to perform best considering the processor, board, and intended use of the machine. Can't tell you what it came with.
