[HLUG] Acer Aspire 7720

[Broomster]

I'm looking towards purchasing the following laptop from PC World :-

*I'm intending to install Ubuntu 8.10 on it (possibly dual boot) - and was
wondering if anyone has any experience with this laptop? Or knows of any
issues I'm likely to encounter?

I need for wifi to work (obviously!) and I'm aware that most laptops have
linux issues with the webcams?

Don't want to pay out £600 to find out it's pretty much useless with
linux...
