PC vendor Lenovo has promised ThinkPads with pre-installed Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 for some time now. Lenovo will deliver the goods the week of Jan. 14. Lenovo will release pre-installed SLED 10 on its Intel Centrino processor-powered ThinkPad T61 and R61 14-inch-wide notebooks. In February, Lenovo's pre-integrated Novell Linux offering will expand to include some Penryn-based ThinkPads.

But I would replace it with openSUSE, which of course should work fine, but is more up-to-date and more flexible.
We're talking Lenovo Thinkpad here, which is mostly a business line of laptops. Its users are likely to prefer more thoroughly tested distros than the latest Compiz-Fusion plugin.
I'd have rather seen RHEL on it myself, but it is rather clear that Lenovo has no intention to load non-MS-approved distributions. Most commonly mentioned examples of which are Xandros (of every Eee PC, a few bucks of MS-tax go to Redmond) and SLE (same story, I suspect).
