"Thinkpad si teh ugly" in the maclot is a lot like the "windows BSOD eats your brane" in the linux camp - the reality of the situation has come and gone, but some folks have a hard time letting go of the past. There's still some gristle on the bone left to contend over, I guess. Once, circa 2000-2002, the thinkpad was dog ass ugly, looked like a lunch box, and made form-before-function pretty boys weep in the darkness. Now it's simply the best laptop made, subjectively, and is sweet looking as well - many Apple zealots hate IBM for this.

Some people feel good buying a beige super computer or an IBM ThinkPad, or a Toyota Camry. Others like their computers to look good as well.
Who says that a beige super computer doesn't look good? Lenovo Thinkpads look business and in the right setting they can be quite convincing.
Toyota Camry? No idea why cars get keeping dragged into threads about computers
Why does white plastic casing equate to looking good?
