I’ve only today realized that my current ThinkPad T61 is a heck of a lot cheaper than even the regular MacBook. At 1.300,-€ including 3 years bring-in warranty, the ThinkPad was equipped about the same as the MacBook black. That however doesn’t come with a 3 year warranty, the upgrade pushes its price more towards 1.500,-€ which is in the end what I paid for my ThinkPad. Then again, I got 200GB internal HDD @7.200rpm, 4GB of RAM and the 120GB original 5.400rpm hdd in a swappable drivebay (which is not an option on the MacBook.

To be totally honest, I even think the ThinkPad looks better – or rather more serious.
