The Thinkpad T60p is superb. I have an excellent screen that is 1600x1200 and large enough to run a 2x2 grid of SSH sessions. And the ultrabay is great for a second drive, second battery, or DVD. Very highly recommended.
My T60p's screen died (sob Im gonna miss that 1600x1200 IPS) and I recently replaced it with a new 15" MBP and find it better in almost every way except the screen (even with 1680x1050, its not same quality) and the excellent Lenovo/IBM CS where I now have to deal with the joke that is Applecare.
