I'd have absolutely no trouble using Ubuntu as a portable machine. It works well. The stuff I have trouble with is all stuff I'd only do at home; printing certain file types, running the scanner, etc.
Back before Windows 7, I found Ubuntu did an awesome job finding hardware and "just work"ing. These days Win 7 did just as well, at least with my new machine (with all new stuff, so perhaps not a fair test of compatibility with odd stuff).
