I have not installed yet, still on the live-cd. There seem to be problems with the display. When the pc boots from the cd, after the option Start or Install Ubuntu is selected, the monitor goes black and stays black forever. In multiple attempts I once got a graphic dialog box to chose Graphics Adapter and resolution, after which I got to command line, and startx worked fine. This only happened once.
In Safe Graphics Mode, the monitor still goes black, but eventually the GUI comes up normally, in the correct resolution: 1400x900.

Further experimentation on the way... I 'll be back.
