Ars Technica just published a great review of the ThinkPad X60 which also has some benchmarks comparing it to the MBP 1.83ghz. The MBP does really well on the CPU tests but not very well on OpenGL rendering. The X60's battery life is incredible, 10.5 hours without wireless and on lowest brightness and 6.3 with wireless and medium brightness. It also doesn't seem to get very hot. Pretty impressive for a 3LB notebook, hope Apple takes some notes!

The battery life is impressive but be aware that it is because they installed two batteries - at the price of losing the optical drive - to achieve it. I suspect that the new iBook/MacBook will achieve similar battery life for one battery (i.e. ~ 5hours).
