I'm having a hard time picking between a

• Thinkpad T500 @ 2.4Ghz with a 15.4" display and a


• Macbook @ 2Ghz with a 13.3" display.

Tech specs are pretty similar (the Thinkpad has a little more juice) though I'm also looking for built quality and durability (more like, shall we say, endurance - cause I'm gonna carry it with me everywhere). A month ago I was going for Lenovo but lately I've read lots of reviews saying that the new Thinkpad models are no longer built like the old IBMs, the plastic feels cheap, the keyboard isn't what it used to be and so on. So I'm a little confused.

Maybe you guys can help me out ?

I no longer use Windows, so software incompatibility isn't an issue.
