In case you haven't purchased your laptop yet Rich, I have both a Lenovo X301 and T410 running Ubuntu 10.4. Both work quite well with all of the hardware supported from what I can tell. I honestly prefer the X301 because it is smaller and lighter which is nice with it hanging on my back riding to and from work.
