Battery life has been running 8-10 hours for me running Statistica, which had only 2 hours on the ThinkPad.

Unless somebody does something amazing I will probably never buy a Windows machine again.
Blue Screens of death are caused by problems in the operating system or drivers. Apples running Windows aren't any better running Windows than a dedicated Windows computer is.

I suspect you are just running a newer version of Windows on your Mac.

If you want a ThinkPad that gets more than 2-hours battery life, they are available. You are not comparing similarly configured systems with similarly sized batteries, however.
