I agree about Acer, I have a Quad core Acer of some sort (8GB memory), not even sure what model it is, it was bought about 6 months ago for around $600 and I run Ubuntu on it. It is great for developing, the only issue I have is that I've noticed its slow after you boot it up, like it takes at longer than it seems it should to open a web browser for the first time or open an IDE but after the first 1-2 min of booting up everything goes fine.
