I have the T540p which has the i7-4800MQ, and am quite happy with running FreeBSD CURRENT on it. I don't care about accelerated graphics too much, though. One nit with the laptop is I needed to use an external USB flash drive to store /boot on an MBR partition, because my hard drives are GPT-partitioned using ZFS on '/' on GELI-encrypted providers. Otherwise, I have noticed that using the /boot on the GPT disk enforces low resolution graphics (640x480 IIRC). By using a USB flash drive for /boot, I can get 1920x1080 resolution (one of the many reasons for choosing this laptop). (I've been meaning to put this into the FreeBSD Wiki, but EBUSY.)
