Agreed with Martian. Ubuntu will handle everyday average use: photos, videos, web browsing, email, and office work. And it will do so in a slick, clean, fairly easy environment.

But what are your needs, for your PC? Any special applications you need? Laptops+linux can get a bit tough, too, when it comes to drivers. Usually googling your laptop's model number + linux will lead you to forum discussions of people who might've fixed many problems you could run into.

I remember switching to Ubuntu on my Compaq laptop, I never was able to get my wireless card to work; it was frustrating because everything else was smooth and Ubuntu's interface was more appealing to me than Vista's.
