Yes, the last 5 Lenovo's i have had were VERY well supported, the odd "not configured" was seen here and there, my current t500 runs great, dmesg and such posted under the laptops section.
As a note any HP's and Dell's i have had all ran well too, i recommend Intel based but that is personal choice. I change computers (of the 4 right now) at least 2-4 times a year, depending on budget and neccesity.
If you have not yet check out this link, there is quite a few dmesg's and such from many types of laptops currently being used by forum persons.
