Hi...the hardware portion of the laptop is not a problem. The graphics card however still is popping up in the community with issues.
Read this forum post and it will give you a good overview:

Reference your other requirements most laptops do not make noise. It really depends on your budget. I personally like HP as they have a good build and are dependable in all my experiences. My current HP pavilion is 4 years old and humming right along nicely.
Also, just a cautionary word, be careful over-posting the same questions in boards. I noticed you posted several times the exact same question over on the Ubuntu Forums. Give people some time to check what you are asking. Over-posting usually turns people off0 -
Thank you for the advice Kryptikos, i will have that in mind for next time. and thank you for the help.0
