Audio Editing Software Ubuntu

Need inexpensive yet very reliable laptop for Linux OS (maybe Ubuntu?).?
My ibook has crashed on me, and I am thinking it may be a good opportunity to migrate to a pc laptop and learn Ubuntu or another linux OS. I need recommendations on what laptop to purchase.
I want an inexpensive yet very reliable machine. My ibook had about a gig of memory and about 20 gigs of space, so I don’t want to go below that. As far as software, the most resource intensive software I use is audio recording and editing software which I use to produce podcasts for my work. Other than that, Openoffice, and a web browser, I don’t use much. I would love some advice on what to purchase. My budget is tight.
I don’t take this community for granted, I LOVE you guys!
Dell or System 76 do laptops with Ubuntu preinstalled.
