Good news everyone!
I finally got my hands on the new Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 NV12YMD, that became available here on thursday.
Primary new features are Intel Core i3-380UM 1.33GHz and 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-10600).
***IMPORTANT BATTERY FIRMWARE UPDATE ONLY APPLICABLE FROM WINDOWS***
There is an important firmware update for the battery that you, at the moment, can only install from windows. Make sure you install it before you purge windows from your harddrive.
Version 1.02
[Important] Fixed an issue where the battery indicated incorrect full charge capacity then the battery life might be reduced.
You can install the update with this utility, or from the preinstalled ThinkVantage Toolbox.
Based on this link, I don't think there's any other way of doing the update.

Functionality
No major problems, all function buttons, networking, suspend, webcam and wifi works.
BIOS
The system uses a new BIOS, version starts with 84, see below.

Hibernation
Works, albeit very slowly. Might be due to low swappiness.
Microphone
Works after unmuting, had to increase input volume to max to be audible in skype.
Sound
Fix still works. Append

options snd-hda-intel model=olpc-xo-1_5
to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
TouchPad/TrackPoint
TrackPoint scrolling works via gpointing-device-settings after following this guide.
Haven't got two-finger scrolling working yet. Have disabled TouchPad in favor of TrackPoint because of this.
gpointing-device-settings are forgotten after suspend, but work after reboot. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...gs/+bug/489830
Wireless-N
Is currently software disabled, works after applying the solution from this post. The Intel Centrino Wireless-N only operates in the 2.4GHz sprectrum, although 300Mbps is theoretically possible I only achieve 65Mbps at the moment.
Not tested

Bluetooth (Disabled)
