Hi,
Before you give up on the Lenovo, I'd like to mention that I

have a Thinkpad, T410, with a single audio connector.
It can take a regular 1/8" connector for stereo

headphones, but can also take a special pin

with four conductors instead of three. 
There are headsets using this single connector for mic and

audio.
I put in a splitter, and was able to get sound

from a microphone, and output sound in the headphones. 
The audio chipset, according to lspci, is as follows:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series

Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)
Hope this helps,
Joel
