The risk of incompatibility is very real. The problematic areas are mostly 3D  
graphics and wifi networking because hardware vendors don't provide drivers  
or even specifications.

What models where you thinking about? You could also consider second hand  
machines. Or making a LiveCD or LiveUSB and visiting your local brick and  
mortar for test driving.
