[quote=flu]AN. I would have to disagree with you somewhat.
When Thinkpads were still owned by IBM, yes I thought they were rock solid…But ever since Lenovo took over, the brief Lenovo laptops I used weren’t really reliable.

I think by far the most reliable solid laptops I’ve used were Sony Vaio …

I use to think Dell was junk…But their quality has gotten better imho…

I really liked the Panasonic toughbook concept…

I don’t have any Lenovo Thinkpad, so I can’t attest to their quality. But I did read from a couple of different sources that they’ve maintained if not improved on IBM’s quality.

Did you use the Lenovo Thinkpad or their other line? My brother got their Ideapad, because it’s cheaper, but it’s definitely wasn’t to the same quality as the Thinkpad.

I’m currently using the Dell Latitude E6400 and the quality is pretty so-so. The paint is chipping and the laptop itself overheats.

The Toughbook is definitely tough, but it’s too bulky for my taste.
