> I've tried finding a Windows laptop that comes close for personal use. I ended up getting a MBP and putting Windows on it like a lot of developers.
Well a lot of developers actually use Linux, and Lenovo hardware support for Linux is much better than the non-official Linux support for Macs, for one.
Plus, Thinkpads are way more robust than Apple's products. They can drop, be trampled over, and still work just fine. They are made for the road, not just to shine in Starbucks.
Thinkpads are highly replaceable as well. You can open them up and change about every part inside, because they are made to be modular and easy to service. No need to go to your Apple Store to have your battery replaced.
On top of that, used Thinkpads can be extremely cheap and still work fine for YEARS after that. You probably will replace them before the hardware actually fails.
