Thanks, all of you, for your help and advice. I was just looking to avoid paying for windows, which I'll never use, anyway. I'm basically looking for a good machine, and don't mind trying out the preloaded distro: it'll be replaced soon, anyway. I'll do some research online first, as you suggested before buying one.
What are your requirements? Acer Aspire 4736 seems like a really good laptop to me especially at the price range. And that it supports ubuntu well would mean that most distros should work fine.
Also in general Thinkpads are good but that also depends on the budget. At the given price range and the respective specs which Mehul investigated, the one he suggestes would look very tempting to me at least.
Avoid Lenovo and Sony. Lenovo is no way near the old IBM quality.
Go for Acer if you want value for money. Dell Studio 15 if you want multimedia performance. HP Pavilion if you don't want Acer or Dell.
