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'm going to second the recommendation for Dell E6400. I've got two, and they're great machines.
Don't get the E6420 or E6430, though. They suck; they're ugly, the keyboard layouts have been screwed up, and the screens are shorter vertically.
