I am running Xubuntu now on my laptop and I can tell you that it comes recommended for me. Its very light on system resources and extremely fast. I hate UNITY and not a fan of GNOME 3. Do try it out.

Me too. It's fast, but not extremely fast actually.

Previously, I use arch linux and love it. But not recomended for beginners.
