    hmm...I've tried an Acer Ferrari 4000, about 3.0 years old, it works out of the box. Still using it sometimes. I would say you'll be fine with Ubuntu.

    Boot up times are slower with my wubi install, and I can't seem to access the partition its coming from. Only use wubi if you don't know any other way to install Ubuntu.
