Dell Inspiron 8600

[Reid Gilman]

Hello everyone,
    I'm thinking of buying a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop.  Specs as
follows:
        Pentium M 2.0Ghz
        512MB RAM
        Centrino Wireless 2200 (b/g)
        Geforce2go FX 5200 64MB
        15.4" WUXGA (1920x1200)
        
I've read and understand the wiki for this laptop and I understand how
to set up the ndiswrapper and sound changes it describes.  My
question(s) are: (1) Can anyone think of a good reason not to buy this
laptop (e.g. would this machine not work well with Ubuntu Warty?) and
(2) will that 1920x1200 resolution work, or should I drop it to
1680x1050?  Thanks in advance.
