I have an A30p:
- Thermal design: A very quiet fan which is off most of the time.
- Display: 1600x1200 rocks :-)
- Keyboard: The best notebook keyboard because it has the keys where you 
expect them (look at other notebook keyboards and wonder why they don't 
use the space to put the keys where they should be)
- Linux support: Anything besides TV out works
- Stability: There are no problems with the hardware as it seems
- Trackpin: It's much more usable than a touchpad and it looks better
- The small IBM things: The case stability, the ThinkLight, the ThinkPad 
buttons which affect the hardware mixer and just work (unlike in 
different laptops where you have to use a windows-only crap software to 
control the volume of the soundcard with the buttons)

The things I'm missing:
- USB2
- better battery (only runs for about an hour)
- It could be lighter, as it weights about 3.x kg

Regards,
Matthias
