I installed fedora on a W510 a few weeks ago. It wouldn't suspend, because the kernel USB3 driver has no support for suspending. Having blacklisted the driver, I find that I can now suspend, but USB doesn't move back to the USB2 driver, it just doesn't work. Still working on that one. Fortunately, when attached to a base station the USB2 only ports on that work fine. Your other point that I take issue with is that you can get substantially better hardware outside of apple for the same price. In my experience, a laptop with similar power, battery life, weight, size, and build quality is not a great deal cheaper. Please note that I say this as a lover of linux in many ways. It's a fantastic desktop/server OS, and I think apple's desktop offerings are poor value in comparison, but I can't say I've ever had a good experience with linux on a laptop.
