You could compare details of your hardware with the official "certified"
hardware for Ubuntu desktops listed at

If you can put a LIVE CD into the product, you can boot it without
installing Ubuntu.  However, I'll assume you don't have physical access to
the machine (ie. buying online).

HTH. Some others on the list have more experience with installations, so
perhaps they'll offer advice too.
