I was even able to swap the standard drive to an SD (250GB) on a T-430 and it's running g like a champ. A lot of the newer stuff is OK as long as you don't have any boutique drivers for video network or sound. YMMV.

I have personal knowledge about CentOS-7 on a Lenovo T520 and a W541 as I have run both of those as my main workstation using CentOS-7. Everything works fine on these. I also know that the T440 and T450 work, X1 Carbon Generation 3 and lower work (with CentOS-7). There are some issues with T460 and X1 Carbon Generation 4. The issue seems to be really only Bluetooth and is expected to be fixed in the upcoming 7.3 RHEL source code.
