All Lenovo laptops come with a BIOS that is locked to one, maybe two, wifi cards, preventing you from changing them over. Not at home right now to check, but the Intel wireless card in mine was perhaps an Intel Centrino 2230 "N" card? Runs terribly under Linux; just about works, but throughput is minimal - I have to use wired ethernet for anything beyond ssh. (Same laptop has speedy wifi under Windows)
I haven't had a good time with the combined nvidia+intel video setup in the Lenovo either, but that's more of a problem with Linux's support for that than anything else. That said, apparently Bumblebee works for some people on some laptops; mine just crashed last time I tried it.
