Google "Hackintosh Thinkpad". Not for the faint-hearted!
Drivers for the non-Apple hardware are the main issue (much info
at insanelymac.com). But it is definitely do-able -- and the
result is, well, a Thinkapple. Or a Macpad. The price is about
right, too -- especially if you already own a license for OS X,
otherwise buy one at Amazon for (IIRC) US$110.
