They really need a better team of industrial designers.

Does the T500 sound the klaxon when it is dangerously low on battery? It plays through the internal speaker, so should it happen in the middle of a crowded lecture hall with no outlets, you've just got to shove in your backpack and wait until it dies.
I have had very positive experiences with the Thinkpad line (the old IBM ones and my W500), and Lenovo has spectacular sales
online pretty regularly.
Prior to this I had a Powerbook 1.5Ghz, and I never had a problem with the laptop (though I went though a couple of chargers). Seeing as the MacBook and MacBook Pro have a different type of charger, I imagine those issues are fixed. If you like Macs. The problem is that they are so darn pretty you can't abuse them much. With the Thinkpad's rugged exterior, I don't worry about it getting dirty, I just wipe it down every once in a while.
