Good luck.

HP laps usually have a good relationship with Tux. I myself got a HP dv6448SE and it works fine, apart from some new quircks from Hardy (which used to work fine in Gutsy).

Despite the fact that Dell's can come with Ubuntu, I have heard horror stories about bad upgrades and poor drivers. That still would probably be your best bet, with HP the next best alternative. I personally use it on an Apple, but there can be problems.

i heard Dell has some major lawsuit against them about fraud, so i'm not so sure i want to buy a Dell..

Here are some manufacturers who preload ubuntu:
System76
ZaReason
Dell

My vote goes to system76.

Hi !

I've a IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad R52. I never had any problems with Ubuntu on that machine, now for 3 years. New Thinkpads run also nicely with linux (my father has a R61).

I recommend you these computers... Very strong machines !

my system76 was fine with ubuntu and fine with arch.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 that came with Vista pre installed, and it works exceptionally well with Hardy.
