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 would concur that the specs on the Y510p are great value for money, but I personally ended up getting an HP Elitebook and upgrading the RAM and platter HDD to an SSD at the last minute.

    So far, I'm not regretting my decision (though, I'm not much of a gamer, so...)
