Lenovo also owns the Motorola phone brand, and they're going to adopt/allow GrapheneOS. I think they know how to grab customers right now, and I honestly like it.
They're usually also well supported on Linux, and even sell them with Ubuntu and Fedora pre-installed. Generally not a terrible brand.
Is that a good idea for a non tech person* with no Linux experience who absolutely needs to send documents successfully to others the first time without delay or should I just wait until my degree is finished and I am less dependent on document interoperability and have fewer absolute deadlines?
It depends. If you get a Laptop that is specifically compatible with Linux (like a Lenovo) and use a "noobie Distro" (like I do (Linux Mint or Fedora, whichever looks nicer to you)) then you're fine
If you use a Laptop which is not compatible, you're going to have a very bad time
