> reputed to be troublesome? How about the Micro Center Winbooks?

Check out www.linux-laptop.org.
Find the model in question. 

I recall that there was a minor issue with the mouse driver and X on a
winbook I used to have, related to the fact that it had both a touchpad
and an eraserhead joystick thingy. That was long ago, and it's likely
fixed.
