Meh. I've owned the following Thinkpads over the 6 years - T42, T60,
T61, X60, two X61s, T500, and T510.

All of them have Just Worked(TM) with Linux (inluding accelerated
graphics), and out of all of them, I've had *one* hardware issue
requiring a visit by a technician.

So I'm gonna have to call BS on your assertion. Thinkpads are not cheap,
but you get what you pay for.
