I have used it on two Thinkpads, the x230 and the T410. All of the keys worked out of the box except the "Thinkpad" button, which I honestly don't know what that is for.

The downside with the Thinkpads is that they whitelist the hardware. So if you change the internal wifi card, it will refuse to boot. But if you don't care about that, they are fine machines.

I would recommend x230, or T530 series. I think that version is when they got smart enough to stop charging the battery when it is full. They are cheap and easy to work on (not true for some of the earlier models).They support 16G of RAM, which I seem to remember sometime after that (not sure when) Lenovo dropped it back down to 8G.
