Use Ubuntu on a laptop

If its Centrino, you're probably going to find that most if not all prts 
work out of the box. When I shopped for my notebook, I took a live 
Ubuntu cd to the store and popped it into any model I was interested in. 
It's a good test - if it works with the live cd it'll probably work on 
the full install.

You can check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport and 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SupportedArchitectures for specific information.

Good luck!
