Ubuntu has a good page where they specify the hardware compatibility :- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport and for laptops :- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam Also, if you google around a bit - you can also find step by step instructions to get things working for specific laptops. Most major distributions have similar pages.
