The Acer Aspire 4315 was still available at DSE last time I stopped in,
comes with 7.10 preinstalled which someone could upgrade at the installfest.

There's also a Laptop Testing Team page on the Ubuntu wiki where
compatibility of various machines is noted; for problematic machines there
are often documented fixes or workarounds; people might want to refer to
this during the Installfest.

Most webcams will be supported out-of-the-box when 8.10 ships with the new
kernel driver for USB video devices.
