Their battery life has usually been pretty low, has that changed?

  getting 4 hours minimum with lemur ultra i7 ssd 8gb ram. I'm satisfied with that.

I've looked into them, and they make pretty good products, but I'm just too hooked onto Thinkpads' timeless design, and of course, the TrackPoint, to switch.

  Yes, the TrackPoint is a serious problem. Once you're addicted, there is no going back to a lesser solution.

    Agreed. I tried the Retina MBP at the Apple Store when I was getting my iPhone fixed and kept hitting the G and H keys out of habit. I tried to get used to the multi-touch trackpad; after all Apple does make the best in the business, but it just didn't suit me. I just don't see how repeatedly swiping your finger several times to move across the screen is more efficient than a simple shift of weight across a red dot. It's like the convenience of a mouse and the versatility of a trackball, just better. I got so addicted to it that I had to buy one of these (http://shop.lenovo.com/us/itemdetails/55Y9003/460/60AC6A0372B14F5BA7B12F1FF88E33C7 http://shop.lenovo.com/us/itemdetails/55Y9003/460/60AC6A0372...) for my desktop.

      Why, this looks like the very same keyboard I'm typing on :) Except I bought it before the laptop out of curiosity.

The CD/DVD optical drive is a nice touch, if it were 2005. Seriously, why would anyone ever need an optical drive on a laptop? You can bundle an external one for much lover price if you want and save the space for something better: battery, better dimensions/weight, 2nd hard drive, cooling, whatever.. just not this device straight from the 90s. (It does not say anywhere that I can replace it with battery or hard drive bay as I can on Lenovo/Dell notebooks).
