Ok, you do realize that the main reason people buy Macs is so they don't have to use "Ghetto" Computers using crappy, bloated, buggy Windows. So to say that just because a nice looking computer comes out from Lenovo, all the Mac users are going to run and say.
"Oh look, a nice thin light laptop from lenovo. Let me run and partake of the slow, buggy, bloated, drm laden Vista and get rid of my nice Mac." Back away from the bong and get a breath.
I'm sure this is a nice piece of hardware from Lenovo. If it comes with a nice version of Linux and the price is right, I might even consider buying one. But to have to go back into the windows nightmare....no thank you.
when I first started reading your comment I was going to say "have you ever heard anyone say linux was 'crappy, bloated, buggy'"
but then you mentioned linux at the end...
I run my laptop with a small win XP partition for running windows only software and games, then the rest is for Ubuntu or Fedora, depending on my mood when I periodically upgrade.
The only things that typically don't work when putting OSX on a Lenovo is the sound and maybe the WiFi with an Intel chipset. Other than that, multiboot away!
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.

I'm feeling the need to smash your head with a brick.
& I /own/ a mac...
@Velorium:
me too
@Shenzhov - you can put linux on yourself (apparently its free!!!)
or you can hack os x on, its quite easy.
and I don't get what you mean by drm-laden.

Guess what vPro is? Yup, more DRM.
