peter, 
What desktop #linux distribution do you use on a modern laptop?
My venerable laptop is 10 years old and it's battery isn't what it is so I've a new one on it's way.
Now I've used Ubuntu and Mint over the years for desktop use, alternating between the two.
As this one currently has Ubuntu on it I'll probably try the current Mint but what other distributions are people using for daily Desktop/Laptop use?
