I've heard they are pretty good but we have not used any.  A tad pricey for 
our budget but have reasonable specs and support.

Zareason, http://zareason.com/shop/home.php also builds Ubuntu machines and 
these machines have replaced our Dell machines.  Dell, after out first group of 
laptops, would not build Ubuntu only machines with the capabilities we needed.  
Too bad really as we really liked our Inspiron 1525n machines.  Our laptop  
requirements are pretty reasonable I thought.  They just needed to have 
wireless, have Open Office, have DVD playing capability and have video Skype 
capability.  There ARE options out there!!
