Could be, but I've heard nothing but good reports on almost any brand
of laptop using Ubuntu, including the one guy who bought an el-cheapo
Walmart unit and had it humming perfectly in about 3 hours. Of course,
he wiped Windows from the unit and grinned gleefully. OTOH, I've heard
that Ubuntu's re-partitioning tools for the dual-boot environment are
quite good.

      Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code ... If you write
      the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not
      smart enough to debug it.
