I'm typing this on my Lenovo T480 running Ubuntu. Here is a little review I wrote after a couple of days with the machine:

I ended up installing NVidia's proprietary driver which let me disable the MX150 and use the Intel video card instead. Machine seems to run a little cooler since.

I was pleasantly surprised that Ubuntu auto detected my network printer. It also played nice the first time I plugged into the RJ45 port.

I'm still underwhelmed by the audio quality of the built-in speakers. It's sufficient for video conferencing, but it's a little sad when playing music.

Another minor annoyance is that when restoring from suspend, the laptop briefly flashes the previous desktop before showing the lock screen.
