Quoting Jesse L. Purdom
Thanks for the link. I had come across that posting while researching the laptop, as well as the review from LinLap. I was hoping to see if anyone else had any experience with the unit, especially any problems they ran into that I may want to take into consideration before I buy. I have to say though, that it sounds like a good laptop for Linux users. :-)

Jesse et al, XXThis is what I've found so far from Googling and other e-mail forums. Also, Lenovo models are frequently reported in the Ubuntu laptop compatibility forum as working out of the box. Mentions in the Ubuntu laptop incompatibility forum are few and I found none for the T series. Switchable graphics support is not yet present. The auto-switching available in Windows will never be available, at least from NVidia. At the very least, you will have to log out to switch cards; reboot and switch in the BIOS is a strong possibility. People are working on hot switching video, but it is kludgy. If this wasn't my only computer and my bread winning computer, I might be tempted. The Intel graphics apparently has 3D acceleration and is supported. 3D acceleration in the Nvidia card is not yet supported, though 2D acceleration is. Fingerprint reader probably isn't supported yet, though it probably will in the near future (new model of long line of supported vendor). There are bugs in the Intel N-1000 WiFi card driver, but fixes exist, though I've forgotten if they are in the vanilla kernel sources yet. Other Intel WiFi card seem to work out of the box. If any of this information is out of date or doesn't apply to OpenSuSE, I've love a correction.
