I have a variety of Dells here at work, and I abused a free T20 at
home until it gave up on me. Since the T20 worked so well I bought a
used T40. The chassis and hinges seem to be much, much more solid on
the IBM/Lenovos. I have many Dell C610s with crappy hinges.
YMMV, but IME construction quality and durability of the IBM/Lenovo
laptops is higher than your run of the mill Dell and other cheaper
brands (HP, Toshiba, Sony, etc.)
