Depends on your SSD size. If you settled for a distro and desktop environment you want to try more long term, you can create another partition on your SSD and install linux there, creating a so-called dual boot. There are many good tutorials on YT how to do that.
You can install Linux on any laptop. I run Pop!OS on a Surface Pro 3 tablet, touchscreen works well.
If you want to get a new laptop anyway and are insecure about doing all that partitioning, UEFI, flashing stuff yourself, you can get devices with Linux preinstalled. In the US, theres System76 that come with Pop!OS (an OS based on Ubuntu with System76's own DE), or in Germany there is Tuxedo with their own (also Ubuntu-based) Tuxedo OS with KDE desktop.
