My experience with Thinkpads is completely different. I've had several
(all second hand), of several different models, mainly because they're
quite cheap. Every single one has broken down on me fairly quickly. So
I've sworn off them.
I'm currently using a second hand Toshiba Portege, and other than a
blotchy screen, it works well for me (so far - touch wood).
