I think the reason why Jen-Hsun Huang, the head of nVidia, uses Apple products is not the cost. It is what Apple provides. Actually the price of Apple products is reasonable if you count up all the innovation features. Lenovo Thinkpads are raved for their reliability and their keyboard layouts. While people rave about Apple is only their price which is wrong. Apple has a keyboard layout that is not skimped on while being mobile, a "true" 16.7 million color display, up to 8 hours of battery life, greener construction and this includes a metal housing that can be recycled, over sized touch pad that just works for scrolling and gestures. Sure Apple systems are now 80x86, but the real difference is Apple picks hardware that works together properly that has the fewest conflicts. Other companies have to provide firmware or BIOS updates to fix issues, but they lose interest fixing the issues because they have too many system versions to fix.
The reason why people have Lenovo Thinkpads is mainly businesses provides their employees with these systems because they are better than Dell's business line of notebooks. I have used both. Thinkpads are better. Lenovo's customer support is better from what I read from consumer reports. After dealing with Dell's customer support, I would say that consumer reports are right.
