How are the Thinkpad machines these days anyway? I've heard good things about the x220, but not so good things about the build quality and keyboard of the x230, and also a few similiar complaints about the X1 Carbon vs the old X1.

I've got a mid-2010 mbp 15" that still works just fine, even if I could use it to cook food at times (any time the power adapter is hooked up), I guess I will eventually have to replace it but with an SSD and 4G ram it's doing just fine at the moment.

Typing this on an x230 - it's the best keyboard I've ever used, bar none.

The one and only complaint I have is the low resolution, but 768 is not that bad on a 12.5" screen.

Ah, well good that someone likes it! I haven't tried a newer thinkpad machine, I've just heard lots of complaints from friends.
