This is fantastic news. I've owned Dells, Acers, and Sagers before. I've done work on Macs and misc others. But far and away the ThinkPad x395 is the best laptop I've ever used. It's lightweight while still being fairly powerful. Very solid build, between the two in my house they've taken numerous drops and spills with 0 damage (admittedly most spills were handled quickly, and luckily usually on the top instead of inside). Battery life fantastic, they stay cool and quiet under most circumstances.

I've been running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for almost a full year now. It's been rolling the whole time, although there was a ~4-month period where there was an issue with the wireless card. The only persistent software issue relating to laptop hardware is that when docking or un-docking the thunderbolt jack is that I have to re-initialize USB devices, as they stop responding.

If they fully certify all models going forward, it's more likely that my issues will get fixed upstream faster, and that is fantastic.
