Personally, I have an Acer Travelmate 4201, and I'm very happy with it. I have been running ubuntu on it since new (three years ago) and it always worked pretty well. I recently installed 10.04 without any problems. Battery life is OK, especially if you switch off your network card. Mine has been travelling throughout Europe and Africa on a daily basis. Still no glitches after three years of intensive usage (touch wood). I'm sure the newer models perform better still. Regards, Jan.
