and the 95% Gamut display, 16x9 being the standard (1920x1080) and Matt, nice to see you discount any graphics which are important in a computer where they are non-replaceable, 20 hr battery life that in the real world drops to 17, express card, external power, 720p Camera with face tracking, finger print unlock, a VGA port (handy for me), internal RAID supported by Lenovo, mobile broadband this is a pro computer
If you want sexy they also have that covered with the x1 Carbon.
When Apple EOL'd the 17" which was the last computer to have an express card slot they EOL'd the idea that MBP's are Pro. That is not to say that you cannot do professional work, but pro in the respect that you can buy a mobile power house and expect to keep it and have it expand and contract with your work. It's great for Apple bad for everyone else.
Personal rant: I use eSATA on the MP for external storage it's an industry standard and it's fast right now I have an eSATA express card that is no longer an option with a Mac which means that I'll get an Elite Book or one of thiose Lenovo's being that my portable will need replaced sooner than the MP..
I forgot the mobile broadband option, that's another totally legit plus for the Lenovo.
I wasn't discounting the graphics at all, I said from the get go that Apple has never done workstation or gaming class graphics in a notebook. The 95% gamut is hard to gauge because they never specify which gamut they're referring to, but in any event it is a least equalled by the MBPR's display. And 16:9 is a detriment, not a bonus, unless you're watching TV.
The capabilities afforded by Thunderbolt destroy those of ExpressCard. Get a Sonnet Echo Pro for $174 and you can use any of your existing ExpressCards. Get an Atto 6Gb/s SAS/SATA adapter and you can have way more eSATA throughput than any other notebook solution in existence.
