I’m also an IBM Thinkpad fan. I’ve used my laptop an everage of 14 hours a day for 2 years now. Their T and X series are better built than the others but do come at a premium. For me it’s worth it since I dock it and do all my work on one machine

IBM Thinkpads are the most reliable laptops in the world. They’re the only laptops I haven’t been able to break within 2 years of use.

I use Compaq Evo N800c and a Toshiba M200 tablet at work. Both had hardware problems within a year.

Buy a Fujitsu from PortableOne (www.portableone.com). The prices are OK, the quality is way better.
Fujitsu has an 8% initial return rate vs. Dell at 20% for example.
Plus PortableOne will fix your computer if necessary.
I am not affiliated with them in any way,
but I know a good guy who works there.

Good luck. Compaq supplied me with extra RAM for a Presario. Unfortunately there was an error in their parts list so although they were supplying the ‘right’ part it was the wrong speed. Getting through their call handling system was a nightmare resulting in my e-mailing their CEO. It took about two months to resolve the problem.

Always trying to find a positive; I can reduce your list–; Compaq and HP merged…

Gateway blows, too. They mislead me about my system’s capabilities (didn’t support 32bit) and their trade in policy is a joke. My Alienware rules.
