Assume you are talking about hardware platforms here. Debian only has
popularity information for architectures, not more specific than that.
They don't exactly measure popularity, but the install howtos and
installation reports are probably useful. Outside Debian there is the
Linux Hardware Database, which allows folks running Linux to
voluntarily submit details of their Linux distribution and hardware.
The project also publishes some monthly statistics about the
submissions. I gently suggest that Lenovo should be ensuring that all
their Linux capable hardware is represented in the database with at
least one probe :)

I guess the surveys site would be the place to do that and the
publicity team could help draw attention to it from the desired
audience.

I've seen previous models of X1 Carbon at DebConf in past years.
