Dunno about Ubuntu, and laptops, (Ive always been a Red Hat guy) but check out:

http://www.linux-laptop.net/

This site is invaluble for anyone trying to install any flavor of linux on a laptop.

It is basically compilations of user install experiences of linux on various laptop models. You can usually find stories about your laptop model, and find out exactly what works and what doesnt, and how much of a pain in the ass its going to be. Laptops can be tricky sometimes, since hardware manufacturers like to make undocumented changes to hardware when they shrink it down to fit in the small form factor. Sleep/Wake issues are usually the biggest headache.
