Dell have good support. They have some deal with canonical, so it seems most of their laptops work great.

Also, ASUS ones run quite well. ASUS even ship linux on their netbooks. My girl friends netbook runs for ages on it. So much that it has never run out of battery on us.

Any particular Dell models? I've heard bad things about Asus and compatibility with touch pads, etc. Not true?

(I had Thinkpads before, but am considering a change in the next month.)

I am very happy with the XPS 1330m laptop. I don't know if they still make it anymore, but I bought it with ubuntu pre-installed and it has been fantastic.

I thought a bit and then got the idea to use a web tool called "Google"...

http://www.ubuntu.com/certification

I found a couple of laptops which are locally available and suitable.
