yea, I do have to say that I like working on my IBM T41. I've dropped it (in the laptop carry bag though) and it came out just fine. I also love how light weight that it is.
I am afraid the quality will go down now that we have sold off the PC division. I hope that we dont let the new guys manaufacture and then stick our name on it. I'd rather just not sell PCs at all than do that. If you didnt know, we sold off our hard drive division a couple of years ago too. IBM just hasnt been able to make either remotely profitable... and hence, bye bye bye. *sigh*
Fortunately, I dont have a *need* for a laptop vs a PC except when I travel. I only travel for work about 2 times per year on average. So for my personal, non work system, I dont bother with a laptop. I had a nice tower built (mwave.com) rather than going and getting a "dell" or "compaq" etc. This way, I got to customize my PC guts. I've had no problems with that system and I got it almost 2 years ago.
