I actually run a year old model Lenovo ThinkPad and the latest stable kernel. I mean it's mostly good at hibernating, but it's just not solid like other systems I've used. You're right in saying that it's better on these systems with later kernels, I do remember a time when I was younger and buying the wrong laptop without suspend support though :)
