You are welcome. Feel free to add your experience with your new T530 and openSUSE, too.
The advice there seems to be a bit dated - or hasn't yet caught up with events - as there are no instructions on how to install openSUSE on the T530 which is the one I am now most interested in.
Well, I have written openSUSE ThinkPad installation instructions there since 2007. Nowadays, there simply is not much to write anymore! Most things just work.
But I guess what was done in the T510 and T520 should also be applicable.
Have a look at my T430s openSUSE installation instruction there. It should be even more applicable.

The most important question is: Can you disable Optimus in the BIOS in order to enable the Internal graphics card? Then, there should be no problem with 13.1. [...] Now here is the rub, isn't it? :-) . I will ring Lenovo shortly and talk to their tech department about this. I suspect that one could switch off Optimus in the BIOS but I had better make sure.
My T430s can. So I expected you could disable Optimus on your T530, too.
(On the othe hand, if there is work being done according to Cristian re Optimus then I can get the unit and use it with Win #8 while the Optimus question has been resolved.)
I simply do not need it. I always disable these external graphics cards *before* installation. However, if you want to use the HDMI or DVI connectors, you might have to enable the discrete NVidia card!
