Question for the lentils out there: What makes and models of laptops are good these days? Traditionally, you could just get an IBM ThinkPad if you were willing and able to pay extra for quality, but judging by reviews, they aren't as consistent as they used to be. A 'nice' laptop has to get a lot of things right: fast internals, sturdy case, quality keyboard, excellent battery life, and good heat management, to name a few. Are there any manufacturers that sell machines worth buying anymore, or do you have to compromise?

    My problem with Apple, as with MS, is the EULA. I cannot agree to it. Back around 1998 I was quite pleased to have my wife use Apple...then there came this security upgrade with abusive changes in the license. I still have the computer, and there's some software that won't run on anything else. But it never touches the Internet.
