For me, the white MacBook from early this year works perfect.
It's fast, battery runtime 3h, nice to handle.

With the new aluminum unibody MacBook released a few weeks ago,
the white one went down in price.

I think the new one has more grafic power...

For hw support see:
aluminium (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook%20Aluminum)

You can't go wrong with any of the new macintel laptops. It's up to you how much you want to pay. Personally, if I was getting a laptop just for ubuntu I'd get a cheep IBM or Dell, they work just as good (with ubuntu.) If you want to dual boot mac os x and ubuntu obviously you'll have to sick with a mac.
