15.4" Lenovo Thinkpad with the WUXGA+ display really really provides valuable screen real estate for code

Well over the mac price point. Nice machines, but not as well built as they used to be.

Well over the macbook (not mbpro) price point - and for a reason.

I don't think Macbook could ever compare to Thinkpad T61/T500 for some serious development. Ever.

Macbook Pro is another story, with another price tag too :)

FBSD compatibility is a plus and a half.
