hardware-certification

I am an Ubuntu user... and willing to buy a laptop for my undergraduate study, but the brand which I am likely to buy does not fall on Ubuntu certified hardware. I am willing to buy vaio S series laptop. Can anyone answer my following questions?

will Ubuntu 11.10 run smoothly with full hardware compatibility on vaio S series laptop?
is there ubuntu support for vaio or vaio support for Ubuntu?
googling on net found that there are some problems running Ubuntu on vaio is that true? if so will I get support from any community?
