Personally, I find that their keyboards are the best thing about them. Although, I hear the latest models aren't following the same design. They are also very solid compared to other laptops.

Excellent keyboards, very sturdy build, reliability and customer support, and a wide range of options to choose from. They're probably the best-built PC laptops you'll find.
This applies to almost all Thinkpads, even since Lenovo bought the product line from IBM.

As others have said:

well built
Very reliable
and a neutral design that can work with everyone.

Use to have one.

Thinkpads are very sturdy, no nonsense business grade laptops. Excellent security, magnesium hard drive cages, etc...

yes. business do care for reliability and not style. That laptop isn't going to keep on running after a few years if to much work was put into looks.

You would need to specify which of the now lenovo laptops you are meaning as each series has it's own features.

I recently bought a thinkpad and whoever says it isn't sexy needs their eyes examined, black never goes out of fashion.
