I've heard that there are big differences in quality based on the manufacturers they use. For example, I think for the keyboards they have four or five different manufacturers. The T models use two different ones (while the lower budget models use the other three), one of them being LiteOn (which is the best one), and that depending on which manufacturer you get, you might get a higher quality or a lower one, especially with keyboards. Have you taken a look at other laptops? If so, which one will you go with next time? I'm a Linux user, so if Thinkpads are as bad as some people say they are nowadays, I might even get a MBP and install Linux on it.
