Thinkpads are awesome. If you need a laptop that lasts a long time and can take a beating, I would look at the Panasonic Toughbook line. Those laptops are made to be durable. If you know anything about the Panasonic products is that they last forever and a day. I bought a Panasonic Microwave and it has lasted me a good 8 years or more.
