Not to contradict anyone or start a flame war, I'll pass on my experiences here.
We've been buying Thinkpads since I got here (the perq of being CIO, I had bought them before at another job starting with 755CS but couldn't mandate that), probably a few hundred, starting with T20s. In general, they've held up pretty good. Had a few disks and fans fail. One motherboard IIRC, one cracked screen (user said "I might have sat on it") but considering the environment, lots of travel, yucky bio labs, I think that's pretty good. My X's (41, 60, 301) have been great. But I still hate track pads -- love the track point. Biggest complaint has been they don't come in stylish colors like Dell (not to be sexist but that's only from some women). So I'm still happy with Thinkpads.
