You're in a thread responding to someone (who I happen to agree with as well) that disagrees with you on "There is no way a Macbook can compete with a proper Thinkpad". It's a bit a of a bold claim. I disagree with you on the keyboard and the navigation. The solid aluminum construction of the MBP is one of the best aspects of it, next to the display. I've dropped the thing probably 20 times without issue. I will admit, knowing how carbon feels on my bike, I'm curious about how it looks and feels on the X1. My 5 year old MBPr still gets 5 hours of battery life while the Thinkpad I had got 30 minutes when it reached the 4 year mark. Not in the valley, by the way, and I also prefer linux.
