I can only report on a T530: I'm running Kubuntu 14.04 on it, and I'm not aware of any software-related issues. Admitted, I have moments when the screen goes black, but the system continues running, so I suspect a hardware issue (loose contact, ...). I don't use suspend/resume, so I can't report on that. The wallplug I use is switched, I use that to control the charging process: switching it on or off while the system is running only has the obvious effects of making the plug icon in the KDE task bar appear/ disappear and the screen go bright/dim, definitely no freeze.
