Hi and Welcome !

LiveCDs are best to check Hardware support of any machine. Boot up from Ubuntu LiveCD and check if it configures everything. In case it does, install it.

I think the Lenovo laptops in general are pretty Linux-friendly. I just bought a G530 myself, and am very happy with the way Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) runs on it. Every so far has been detected hardware wise.
