Ditto this. I've been using an X240 as my primary home/work computer with Arch Linux for 18 months or so, with 8-12 hours of use a day. I have no complaints. Everything worked day 1 with linux and all the hardware is supported. Lenovo is active with BIOS updates to fix things like the rowhammer exploit, as well as linux-specific issues, which is nice. There have been 10+ BIOS updates since I got the machine, and it doesnt require Windows to update.
If you have a need for multiple VMs or top or the line performance, you might want something a bit bigger (RAM is limited to 8GB on the current X250 and processors top out at 15W models). That being said, I have yet to feel even remotely limited by the capability of this laptop -- it is my primary machine.
edit: I should add my 2 batteries have 77% and 78% capacity after 18 months of extremely heavy use, which I consider to be excellent.
