The version of Ubuntu shipped with your laptop is probably already configured with the right stack. Otherwise, there is no reason why Mint would not work whilst Ubuntu would.
Other option is to used the latest version of Linux Mint (with Cinnamon 2.0 which is a huge improvement).
Mint 16 works perfectly on this laptop as far as I can tell. I had to to set up wireless properly (download drivers and enable it) but everything else works out-of -the-box.

LM 13 is equivalent to Ubuntu but you will probably need to update the hardware support stack yourself.
