If you have any kind of box (even Windows or Mac) that you could use
for testing builds it is likely to be very helpful.

As a random test idea on the Thinkpad - maybe go into the BIOS and try
disabling as much hardware there as possible to see if that helps the
suspend/resume. It probably wont affect anything, but should be easy
to test and if it does then it gives some useful information.
