Lenovo Thinkpads Missing Keypresses

It's working great now, for the moment, and I still haven't seen a better laptop option, but I'm going to be hesitant to buy any more Lenovo products. Between wrestling with the broken machines and then waiting on repairs, I lost months of usability. Now my warranty is expired, I wasn't able to extend it (their warranty extension policy seems intentionally designed to prevent you extending), and if it bricks again, I've got a $2800 (original price) doorstop.
When it works, it's the best laptop I've ever owned. Here's hoping I get at least another year out of it.
I just got the Extreme 2, and immediately ran into the keyboard issue. The matte screen has some light bleeding in the corner too.
It's a bit aggravating that laptops with a high price point can have bad design or quality control issues.
