    12" laptop recommendations

    Hey guys. I'm looking for a new machine and I was hoping I could get some recommendations from ya.

    What I want:
    size between 10" and 12"
    100% ubuntu compatibility with 12.04
    powerful enough to play FullHD videos
    at least 2GB of RAM
    3 USB ports
    HDMI output
    the usual stuff - wifi, webcam, mic, SDcard reader
    quality hardware
    matt display is a plus

    I was thinking about Lenovo IdeaPad S205, but I saw it had some serious issues with ubuntu.
    How about ASUS EEE PC 1225B ?

    I have an Acer Aspire One 722-0639. I like it quite well.
    Never tried Ubuntu 12.04, but everything in 11.10 worked.
    However, Unity ran too slow for my tastes, so I switched to Fedora LXDE spin, as the sound didn't work in Lubuntu.
    This wiki page may help you decide.

    This might not be of great value as my Dell laptops are both older models but both of them work quite well. One has Ubuntu 10.10 and the other Xubuntu 10.10. Everything works on both: sound, wireless, everything.

    Now, my Toshiba Satellite L635 is a different story...
