Confirmed here. I've chosen a Thinkpad x200s over a MacBook Pro.
Advantages of an x200s over a MacBook Pro 13":
- high screen resolution: 1440x900
- smaller and lighter
- I can change the HDD very easily
- one USB plug more
- the x201s also has support for Intel Core i7.
Disadavantages:
- Battery life, I guess
- Speakers, but doesn't matter for business users
- Webcamera, whose lank on TP is quite strange
DVD writer is personal preference. I explicitly don't want it in laptops.
From a strictly techical perspective, although more loosely business one, choosing a Thinkpad x20*s over a Macbook Pro 13 is a no-brainer.
