I'm happy with my i5 ThinkPad T410 with Intel HD Graphics. I have problems with the Realtek 8191SE wireless network device. The Realtek driver built but didn't appear to support scanning for wireless networks. (I didn't manage to get ndiswrapper working.) To get better video performance, I ended up compiling Intel's Xorg video driver (xf86-video-intel). Shrinking the Windows 7 partition was awkward, although it looks like Partition Wizard (based on Linux =) will handle this task easily.
