My suspend issues disappeared when I updated to the latest firmware version 
(1.22 iirc) available from Lenovo.

Be aware that you have to use EFI to boot Fedora. The latest firmware 
revisions (at least, don't know about the former versions) make bogus 
assumptions that you never want to boot from a GPT-partitioned disk while 
using BIOS compatibility mode. It just won't try booting from a GPT disk, you 
have to use UEFI.
