I'm more amazed that someone can live with that atrocious Lenovo screen for that long. I can live with the thickness, the not so great battery life (unless you go with that monster 'slice' battery), and the heat. But the screen...
I went from a ThinkPad to a MacBook Pro in 2010. The screen was amazing. It was bright, it had viewing angles, it wasn't fuzzy... The trackpad, slimness, instant-on, speakers, and everything else was just icing on the cake.
Later on, I picked up a 2560x1440 ThinkPad X1 and the screen was great, Lenovo had finally leveled the playing field. But there was a pretty big gap in my life where I went without a ThinkPad.
