if you're looking for a mac book like experience with Ubuntu you should buy approved hardware, or from vendors that offer pre built machines like http://www.system76.com/ or http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/linux_3x

Thanks for the tip! I really wish I'd known about the approved hardware thing beforehand.

well its less approved and more known to work because hardware vendors provide proper drivers or support, etc.

I bought a dellbuntu once there was a bug with the x driver so x didn't work.
