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?

    I used to think Apple hardware was too expensive and was a ripoff, until I started using one.

    Ditto. After buying my first Mac in 2010, I have transitioned to an all-Apple ecosystem. I've never been more content...due in large extent to the quality of the hardware. This, coming from a previous die-hard Linux user.
