Hmm there is Los Alamos Computers who sell Gnewsense pre installed 100 %
free software computers. see http://www.laclinux.com/gnu

Or you can have a look at http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw to see the
list of supporting peripherals. 

Moreover, you could get the specification of the brand that suites your
needs and just check whether they are known to be working with free software
drivers. It takes a bit of searching but thats worth it:)

Mine is acer aspire 5570z which is not currently available in market. In this, 
every thing
is working including the wireless card which is atheros with the newly
freed ath5k drivers
