I'm gonna buy a laptop I want to install ubuntu on it.

Samsung // Model: NP300E4Z-A04CL // Processor: Intel Celeron B800 1,5 GHz // Cores: 2 // Chipset: H65M // 2GB DDR3 // Video: Intel HD Graphics, integrated // WiFi: 802.11bgn

I've been searching for hours to know if everything will work! But I can't find anything about Ubuntu 12.04 running in it... I just want a fast system for my office work, skype, external screens...

Any benchmark or experience about if this laptop will work fine under Ubuntu 12.04 would be highly apreciated !!

Edit: Jean-Pierre has confirmed that the laptop idea indeed work well with Ubuntu 12.04.

Yes, the laptop should probably work very well with Ubuntu 12.04.

  • The Sandy Bridge chipset (H65M) is compatible.
  • The CPU has internal Intel HD Graphics, which work great with Ubuntu without needing to install any extra drivers, etc.
  • The brand of wireless card is not known, but if it is a Broadcom card, you may have to install extra drivers provided by Ubuntu to make it work. It's a good idea to have access to a wired connection (ethernet) for this step.
