My dad still uses a circa 2006 ThinkPad Lenovo T60, they aren't bad laptops, having said that I still use a 2005 Latitude D810 and my family don't generally set fire to their computers... ;)

I know Lenovos are good, and Dells too. There was a one Dell that I know was god awful (that like everyone I knew had) the E1505... I had three of those come through me to get fixed with the same problem. (endless power cycling, with a problem that couldn't be identified)

You know I was thinking of taking a trip to Europe...don't make me come there first :O
