This is a quick survey about Linux related hardware features of the Lenovo ThinkPad T530. I don't try to explain the usual installation details (for instance, which partitions I have made, what they are good for and so on and so on...). Requests for additional information may be directed by eMail to the author.
The laptop comes with an 15,6" HD+ TFT LCD, which allows resolutions from "1600x900" to "640x480" pixels.
A nice goodie is the facility to boot the notebook over USB and LAN (not needed here yet, but a nice to have feature).
The machine comes with an ACPI interface. Standby- or suspend-mode is established by software (stock Linux acpi utilities) or pressing the appropriate hardware button. The laptop suspends under X and console to RAM and Disk. It restores it's former state in reasonable speed. All relevant FN buttons send appropriate signals, when thinkpad_acpi is loaded as module or compiled into the kernel.
The machine runs with the builtin battery up to 4,0 hours.
Be sure that you have installed the latest BIOS, available on Lenovo's support site.
My ThinkPad T530 runs these days on ArchLinux/x86_64, because this Linux flavor avoids auto-configuration and some other here not wanted mumbo jumbo. It's running on top of an ArchLinux kernel 4.17.3-1-ARCH.
This notebook is as solid as it's black case -- no fancy stuff, only boring, functional hardware.
The system comes with an Intel Core i5 2.6 GHz processor.
Output from "lscpu":
Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 4 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3 Thread(s) per core: 2 Core(s) per socket: 2 Socket(s): 1 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 58 Model name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60GHz Stepping: 9 CPU MHz: 1200.000 CPU max MHz: 2601,0000 CPU min MHz: 1200,0000 BogoMIPS: 5187.97 Virtualization: VT-x L1d cache: 32K L1i cache: 32K L2 cache: 256K L3 cache: 3072K
The processor works without additional daemons nicely with the CPU-frequency governors of Linux-3. Most times I use the ondemand governor.
The system has two memory slots for 204 pin SODIMM DDR3 Synchronous 1600 MHz RAM, which can hold maximal 16 GByte. My system is configured with 2x 4GByte.

The notebook's got a touchpad with 2 and a trackpoint with 3 buttons. The whole stuff is recognized as a ExplorerPS/2 mouse and works in X and on console with gpm started like this:
# /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t exps2 -r 15 -Rraw
The X mouse listens on /dev/gpmdata. Here are some lines from my xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Touchpad"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "MouseSystems"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Floating" "false"
EndSection
The keyboard comes quite unspectacular as a generic model with 104 keys. The relevant FN-keys work surprisingly well, wenn the module thinkpad_acpi.ko is loaded with options thinkpad_acpi experimental=1. You may define your own key bindings with a properly configured acpid.
There are two USB3.0 and 1 USB2.0 ports on the left side of the laptop. The USB controllers needs the kernel modules usbcore, uhci, ehci and xhci, kernel's storage subsystem usb-storage and SCSI hard disk support.

All here needed hardware works well with a recent Linux kernel and my favorite distribution. The machine suspends to RAM and disk, from X or console -- and awakes from both suspend states again.
