Re:Then What laptop should I buy??? (Score 1)

I'm the happy owner of a year-old Acer Aspire and can report that I'm running Ubuntu (breezy) on it smoothly - including using the built in wireless and the binary nvidia drivers. Everything works fine. Moreover, (at least in the UK) Acer support is good - after a couple of months I accidently poured coffee down the keyboard, and they replaced the keyboard free of charge with couriers both ways in the agreed 14 days.
