big +1 to this response. I got a lenovo (thinkpad x series) and it hit 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, obviously implying 4.

I tried really, really hard to like the lenovo. It just was not built good enough for every day use. It was just a piece of shit.

One more very important point:

If it breaks and you need support, what happens then?

MBP: take it in to a nearby apple store. if not immediate fix or replacement then very rapid turnaround

Lenovo: Send it to china! and wait 6 weeks and maybe you'll get the right computer back, and maybe the problem will be fixed

I've had a problem with my thinkpad hardware once. They had a guy actually come to my house.

You can bring a Thinkpad to any authorized service partner and have them fix it, just like with Apple. And unlike Apple, Lenovo actually has on-site support if you want it (even standard with some models). I had one Thinkpad that developed issues, but they always quickly fixed it.
