Ah, sorry. That's what happens when I go stream-of-consciousness. :) The experience with Ubuntu+MBP is way better than Ubuntu+Thinkpad. As far as I can tell they are using the same drivers (I've tried installing multiple different drivers on the Thinkpad and then uninstalled them.) My conclusion is that MBP trackpad hardware is just that much better than the Thinkpad.
