If you download and burn the disc you could run it straight off the disc without installing, if you just want to "try" it.

Yep, most distros offer a LiveCD version to let you try it out and check that your hardware will work. The LiveCDs are laggy because they're running from the CD, so don't judge that. You're right in choosing Ubuntu, it's very good for beginners due to the huge support community.

Here are a few websites that could give you an idea of hardware compatibility:
