I've got a W530 and it works very well with Fedora, although I haven't
gotten the "optimus" video card switching technology working. The Intel
video works great, and the Noveau driver works with the Nvidia card giving
better performance but _does_ seem to run hot. One catch is that the
external video ports (including on the docking station if you have it)
*only* work with the Nvidia card.
