I want to get a new laptop but I am undecided on which one to get.
Should I get a macbook? Why or why not?

Too many quality issues popping up to justify the price premium.

Your comparison of a T42 vs a macbook seems off, I don't think they sell the t42 anymore and if you look at the t43 model it's considerably more expensive even at a student discount. Dollar for dollar I think the macbook is a pretty good deal.

the only complaint I have about the macbook is the volume, it doesn't seem to be as loud as my previous powerbook.

The price is fine with me since I like OS X and can use basecamp or parallels to run Win XP. For the specs, the price is also comparable to other ATI Mobility x1600 laptops.
What kills it is that the laptop gets too hot. Any machine that runs that hot isn't gonna last as long as I need it to.

Lenova is still riding the IBM Quality wave. To buy a lenova is to take a gamble at this point - they may not have the same longevity the IBMs did.
