I am planning to buy a new laptop, which must have 15" screen. I just want a very good speed and productive one.

Please some suggest me some models which you think enough enough to work happily with SUSE 13.2 or the new one UPCOMING version 41 +. OEM/brand means nothing ["HP", "Dell", etc...] It is all about the model.
First and foremost you want ***INTEL*** video for something that *always* just-works. Accept no substitutes, none, never.
It is good when you find a model you are interested to find the Service Field Guide [repair manual] as that will list the components the laptop actually has it in. Make sure those things work with LINUX/openSUSE. A laptop is a collection of components, no more or less than a desktop, only you cannot swap out any of them. So you need to be happy with the component list when you buy.
You buy hardware to run software, the software is the point, so buy the right hardware. Do your homework.
And ***INTEL*** video, always. No Optimus/nVidia ever, never ever - just say "NO!".
I prefer AMD processors with AMD/Radeon graphics. For me Intel is a second choice. I agree, never nVidia, which is kind of funny because at one time nVidia was THE video of choice for Linux. I have a high end HP, AMD quad core, AMD/Radeon graphics, eight gigs memory, dual hard drives [ Yes, dual hard drives in a laptop ].
