I second the opinion of the esteemed Mr Hast. The only laptops sturdier (and I say this from experience as a Freegeek laptop refurbisher and as a Kaypro company tech rep) are the aluminum iBooks and the Panasonic Toughbooks, and both are premium products at a premium price. Think Pads have parts readily available and profuse manufacturer's repair documentation, have a higher resale value (which validates their value) and just plain last. There's an X60 at https://portland.craigslist.org/search/sya?zoomToPosting=&catAbb=sya&query=Thinkpad&minAsk=100&maxAsk=&excats= as well as many others.
