Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit
Toshiba Satellite L505-S6955

Installation went incredibly smooth. I installed it on a new, blank hard drive, if that means anything.

Wireless, audio, webcam, fans are all working properly. Very pleased thus far.

Probably the best laptop i have ever used with ubuntu would have to be the HP Dv5 11xx series

everything works perfectly with a graphics card good enough to play most games, plus it all works at first startup after installation

you can pick one up for only 600 nzd as well

AMD turion x2 64 bit
ati raedon 3450
ubuntu 10.10 desktop x64

1. 10.10
ASUS
EeepC 1005H

perfect

[owise1]

10.04
DELL
Inspirion 8200

all went OK except for non free nvidia drivers (faulty EDID in display required custom EDID and some mucking around) beautifull 1600 by 1200 display however and for an old machine it still a top performer

[Habeouscorpus]

Dell Inspiron 1545 running 10.10 Maverick.

Absolutely perfect!

1. ubuntu 10.10
2. ASUS
3. N53Jq
some problems with sound output, solution here http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1646249
however I had problems with USB, which started working after cca 1 minute after system boot.
Moreover suspend and hibernation doesn't work at all.
in
//edit: I found a solution for suspend to ram (wasn't looking for hibernation) here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1615564

Thus I switched:

1. ubuntu 10.04 LTS
2. ASUS
3. N53Jq
the same problem and the same solution with sound. USB ok, but suspend and hibernation not available (never mind, system starts fast enough).
However, provided NVidia driver is too old, I had to download and install the latest drivers from NVidia site.
Integrated touchpad is not recognized as touchpad but standard mouse => GUI doesn't provide touchpad settings. It works, but without possibility to change sensitivity and only two-finger scrolling available. (I think it's too close to keyboard so I disabled it in BIOS anyway)

//edit: Actually I also found a bit more complex fix also for touchpad issue. By following instructions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...01#post9175201
Pathces are available here http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg08277.html

I've been using ubuntu on this one for 3 years as well:
1. ubuntu 07.10, 08.04, ..., 10.04
2. ASUS
3. G1
works perfectly, only integrated webcam does not turn off once activated.

When I tried newer version

1. ubuntu 10.10
2. ASUS
3. G1
microphone is not recognized by system (no option to choose in Sound manager) neither the integrated nor external one.
