Before just purchasing my MBP, I had a Lenovo ThinkPad for over 4 years. It is still running strong and I have even spilt coffee on it. The only issue I have to this day is that the battery no longer charges but that is a given when I have had it for this long.

I support it!
 
for that price thats a pretty sweet laptop. Windows 7 really isnt that bad. I would say go for it, I have heard good things about lenovo in the past.

W7 is great! I LOVE Mac OS X though, not as many issues. Go with the windows laptop. But I still would recommend the mac!
