I have a CoreDou (in fact I have 2 a Z61M and a T60P), I also have 2 T61's 
which are Core2Dou (no these aren't all my machines, my wife has a work 
machine and a personal machine and the same for me, mine are the CoreDou my 
wife got Core2Dou's).  All of these machines run Ubuntu of some flavor and I 
haven't had any issues getting support for the hardware and haven't had any 
issues with the CoreDou machines.  Although my Z61M is having some heat issues 
suddenly and comes end of warranty this month.  I probably need to blow out 
the interior.  

So I don't believe there is anything specific about any of these systems that 
is specifically problematic just that there has been some quality control 
issues since Lenovo took over manufacture control.  I will still replace my 
machine with another Thinkpad though as it is miles better than any Dell I 
have used and HP just isn't even a consideration for me.
