11.04 64 everything works. Well, almost. Wireless STA driver must be activated and then it works.
What does not work is the wireless led light, but that works if you try some older live distro and then after booting to natty it still works for some time.
Disabling touch pad with Fn+F6 doesn't work.
And I'm not sure about disabling charging with Fn+F2.
Brightnes and suspend Fn combos works. And multimedia controls also works.

Alienware M11XR3 - Ubuntu 11.04 Report

Everything works out of the box - but installing is a little tricky. If you are going to do USB Boot, make sure you use the left hand side as the right hand side is USB3.

The video card isn't supported by official nVidia drivers as of the time of writing (8th of May 2011), but I'm hoping more support will come shortly as this video card only came out this year anyway.

So I would wait until this is fixed before going for Ubuntu.

Running a stock Asus 1215T w/ 2Gb RAM. Installed 11.04 -32 bit today from USB flash drive.

Enabled restricted drivers for Broadcom and ATI.

It sorta works, 480 and 720p video is choppy, when video file is on hard drive.

When trying to watch YouTube video its almost useless, but that could be due to slower-than-normal wireless connection (4 bars, sitting within 3 feet of AP) on 3 or 4 Mbps. The WAP can go much, much faster.

Video and wireless connection worked fine on Win 7, so I figure the hardware is OK.

Not impressed with 11.04 running on this netbook (yet). I'll have to start digging now.

UPDATE: Got rid of of that terrible Unity interface (Go to Login preferences and select Classic session) which was buggering everything up, including WiFi. Runs nice now, everything seems to work OK so far. Installed 4GB ram and that helped smooth out the video situation when playing from files. Some YouTube vids are still not running right.

Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meercat
Toshiba
Satellite L350D

Overall seems to work quite well. Occasionally, wireless gets hard blocked (according to rfkill) but restart fixes that. 3D video rendering performance isn't great but does seem to work.

Most serious issue is the common Toshiba Fan Problem. Have tried using the acpi_osi=Linux kernel option but doesn't seem to make any difference (may have worked once or twice). Fans seem fine after a sleep/resume but not on initial boot. When the fans work correctly, the FN+F6/F7 keys work too. FN+ESC (volume mute) key works. All other FN keys don't work.

Bottom line: works reasonably well no extra configuration necessary.

Feel free to P.M. me if you have a similar laptop and experience similar problems or have solutions that you'd like me to try.

Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit
Ausus U52F-BBL9

Works great! I had one little niggle with the sound not working but fixed that by adding options snd-hda-intel model=auto position_fix=0 to my alsa-base.conf sorted that out.

Everything else worked perfectly out of the box. Intel's video drivers are so much better than ati's! This integrated intel feels faster in ubuntu than the 512mb hd2600 in my old laptop and runs so much cooler.

EDIT: Suspend does not work, but I was able to fix that:
