Hi Jai - Had a look about:
I know the Dell XPS laptops have been pretty good with Ubuntu... the 13.3" screens start at £599 and the 15.4 inch screens start at £539 I've heard good things about Ubuntu running on Fujitsu Lifebook series.. the build quality is very good and they are pretty nice to look at. My personal opinion is that Lenovo/IBM ThinkPads are the best - but might push your budget a little.
