I used to consider apple laptops when purchasing a laptop. After I purchased my first thinkpad it was a no brainer, the real thinkpads are the perfect linux laptop. The ideapads are not so bad for a cheap tiny netbook thingie. They obviously don't compare to the thinkpad line but they are okay for what they cost... PS I have the W500 and I'm curious why you do not include it among the real thinkpads.

Those big desktop replacement sort of laptops aren't what I think of when I think of "Thinkpad".

But you're right, those big W-series machines maintain the Thinkpad build quality.
