Hi Oded,
The Lenovo 3000 series also works rather well, but people are having issues with sound supports (ICH8 - external speakers aren't turned off when headphones are plugged in), screen resolutions (i945 - can't enable native 1280x900 resolution in X, always goes back to 1024x768) and camera (doesn't work at all, but its still better then the Thinkpad that doesn't have a camera).
The Thinkpad series is aimed to the corporate usage, starting from the low end (R), goes to mainstream workers (T) and all the way to the top (X). The features that the Thinkpad has are more or less "dictated" by the customers and it seems Lenovo goes really slow here when it comes to change the Thinkpad series. You can see for example the lack of firewire in the thinkpad, as well as the weird issue that even a brand new thinkpad (T,X) (well, at least up to T50) has ... a parallel port. Why? corporates wanted it.. Firewire, integrated cam, weird resolutions are nice things to have for the private consumer, not for the corporate suits, so they appear in the 3000 series.
