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?

    The guy in this thread who touches the widest variety of machines on a day-in-and-day-out basis has still not been up-modded.

    I suggest that all posts occurring in the first 10-15 minutes of a new story begin with a mod deficit, or a no up-mod flag flown.
