T21 -> T41p -> T61p -> x220. I think it's safe to say I'm brand loyal.

I've always felt that Thinkpads look cooler with a beat up the case. I'll never own a sleeve or protector. They don't require one.

I have a hard time saying that about any of my other electronics.

As a side, I've just flown from LAX -> Sydney -> Perth on a single charge using the Slice battery and standard 6 cell. Took out season 5 of Mad Men in 720p in the process.

I cracked the T21 lcd screen in college with an overstuffed backpack. The LCD backplates are not that hard, probably just plastic.
