'''Compatible Hardware'''

Intel Wireless and Intel Integrated Graphic Processors - Intel has been very good to us, they offer open-source drivers for the majority of their consumer chipsets. These will usually "just work". When qualifying a new inexperienced user a good idea would to ask "does it have an Intel Centrino sticker".

nVidia - Strides have been made to get open-source drivers (Nouveau) created for nVidia chipsets. They do have decent proprietary drivers that have aiglx (compiz-fusion friendly) support, and while it is proprietary and officially not supported they will often work without issue.

System76 - One of the guaranteed ways to get Linux support is to by a machine with Ubuntu preinstalled. System76 has been offering Ubuntu only machines for years and have been know for their support of Ubuntu.

Dell Preinstalled with Ubuntu - Also well supported machines, that have an emphasis on hardware with free drivers.

HP and CUPS Compatible Printer - HP has made the majority of their machines Linux compatible. Also if a printer is CUPS compatible it will work with Ubuntu, and that can be checked at the OpenPrinting database. 

'''Incompatible Hardware'''

ATI - While a few of these card can be used with compositing within Ubuntu "out of the box" they generally have terrible driver support, that are not compatible with AIGLX. ATI should be avoided.

Broadcom Wireless Network Cards - The majority of these cards will not function without a great deal of work. They will often require Ndiswrapper, a way of using the proprietary Windows driver, is often required and may be to difficult to new Linux users. Be aware Broadcom chipsets are often re-branded, for example, "Dell Wireless", consult Google.

WinModems - The modems that come standard in most machines require specific Windows drivers that may never work within Linux. Chances are you internal modem is a WinModem and will never work.

Lexmark - These printers have no support. Lexmark should be avoided.
