Yeah, me too.

Great screen, keyboard, and loads of memory is what I need in a laptop.
 Battery life, processor power, and storage speed are nice also, but
it's all about the interfaces and the memory for me.

I'm also a Thinkpad user.  I wanted the matte screen, excellent
keyboard, and touchpoint.  Also, the power connector is usually the
first thing to go on many laptops, and Lenovo has a replaceable jack
which is not soldered directly to the motherboards like many other
brands are.

It's hard to go wrong with a Thinkpad or Macbook, they just seem better
engineered then most of what's out there.
