Battery life is excellent. I use the machine on long flights. I just disable wifi when not using it, and close unneeded apps. No heat issues. Suspend works perfectly. Takes a few seconds to unsuspend, but that's about it. Macbooks are much worse supported than thinkpads. For all purposes, thinkpads are the reference platform for linux, like macbooks are for OS X.
