Hardware support is generally the same, but some distros add their own patches and sometimes proprietary stuff which may result in certain hardware being better supported than on other distros. I am pretty sure Ubuntu adds some proprietary stuff to their distro and thats why some people say its not a completely free (as in "freedom") distro.
I am personally not bothered about which distro is going to be on the Thinkpads, DELL or whatever else because there is a high probability that I won't be buying anyone of them anyway. What I would like to see is these big hardware companies selling computers with no operating systems preinstalled.
