ThinkPad, mostly. Their very bottom end stuff is really "IdeaPad" inside, which is not the same quality as the ThinkPad hardware. See http://www.thinkwiki.org/ for details on what does or doesn't suck. Apple, after six months. Not because of OS-X, mind you: because there are about two dozen types of mac hardware *total*, compared to however many thousands of combinations of non-mac laptop hardware, you can be pretty confident that it will all be fairly rapidly supported, and solid once it is.
