I have a w500 and I can definitely say it is way more bulletproof than any macbook and about half the price. Ive read numerous reviews saying the lenovo is much better overall quality than the mac as well. It definitely isnt as shiny or cool looking but thats not what you should be buying a computer based off of.
The single best upgrade that I can recommend is going with the solid state hard drive. It eliminates a common source of failure among laptops as well as increases battery life and makes your system faster. For a while it was only a $100 upgrade on the lenovo over a standard harddrive.
