Another Thinkpad (X230) owner here. Mine has an SSD and works really well, and I get a replaceable battery which I wouldn't with an Air. However -- my wife wouldn't consider buying one because of the quality of the display. I suspect Macbook Airs sell well because they're designed with a wide swathe of people in mind.
