I just got this model as well. It works perfectly with Debian Wheezy, as far as I can tell, so I don't see how Linux "will still annoy you".
Anyway, there is one thing that bugs me: If I press the bottom edge of the space bar (especially on the left side) it doesn't always register. Is this just my machine that's defective, or is it a problem with the design? Does it happen with yours as well?
(Usually when I'm typing I hit the spacebar more or less in its vertical center and it works fine, but if I lean back and rest the hand below the keyboard, this problem tends to occur.)
When it comes to the screen, the resolution is OK (holding off on high-DPI is probably better until software support improves!) but viewing angles, colors and black levels are pretty bad. That's apparently one of the things they fixed on the T440s (with an IPS display).

No problem with my spacebar. I suspect you have a dodgy keyboard. I haven't looked to see how the spacebar is held together in this model, but it might just be dirt so you may get away with pulling it off (don't say I told you to do that!) and putting it back, but, well, at least a replacement keyboard is cheap and easy to fit. The 'will still annoy you' comment comes from my memory of stuff not quite working 100%, but I really can't remember what was up now - perhaps it was just when it was in a VM that there were problems. If there was something broken, though, it was probably wifi. That seems the most common problem I have with Linux on laptops these days. Will give Debian Wheezy a try and see how it goes, thanks!
