When I was at What The Hack in 2005 most OpenBSD developers used ThinkPads, at that time still manufacutured by IBM.
Lenovo bought over the IBM laptop business but most models still seem to well supported by OpenBSD.

Actually, Lenovo has been manufacturing thinkpad for many years, even when the brand was owned by IBM, so in that respect nothing has changed. And from what I hear, the people designing the thinkpads are also mostly the same.
I have a T61 at home and used T400/T500's at work, the T400/T500 keyboards are bit bit inferior to previous models. There has been a lot of controversy over this though.
For the rest: It's more or less the same quality.
There are some issues with Lenovo customer support and sales. But this is another topic...
Anyway,
my OpenBSD thinkpad runs pretty well, there are some issues though, but nothing more or less then I've had with FreeBSD or Opensolaris...
