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?

    Can't speak for the newer models, but my next machine is going to be a Lenovo as well.

    Don't bother if you're making your decision based on the T61; Lenovo's been jumping the shark like The Fonz on a Hayabusa.
