i'd say 90% of current consumer laptops are junk (ie VERY poorly made)

ever heard anyone say anything bad about their thinkpad? and afforadble none the less..

yea ibms make good laptops. i'm using my dad's laptop and it seems pretty thin and light. i'm not sure EXACTLY how much it weighs but u shouldn't mind carrying this around. i believe the new ones are all mobile centrino processors too.

My R51 laptop is pretty nice... although I managed to somehow pick it up and push my finger through the little plastic grill covering the fan exhaust.. kind of pissed me off...

My son got a Compaq or HP Turion, not sure the number. It was $750 new after rebate. VS2410US or something like that.
