The new Intel chipset supports SATA III by default. There is not reason Lenovo would disable that. The new SATA III SSDs have barely reached market. The drives that are validated by Lenovo are still SATA II.

C300 ssds which are currently still the best overall ssds have been out for around 5 months now so not sure I'd call that "barely reaching the market".
