My 2p on that: I've used two Thinkpads at work (but not with Linux), a T20 and a T21. Good points: very physically sturdy (a Dell Latitude seems flimsy by comparison), and have a nice security feature (or scary feature depending on your point of view) in that if you set a BIOS password then it's held in non-volatile RAM, so can't be overridden by removing the CMOS battery. Bad point: the hard drives made a nasty whining noise - so alarming that the IBM website even has a sample of it for you to listen to so you can tell it's "normal" :) These were quite elderly models - I'd love to hear how modern Thinkpads compare on these points.
