No complaints here about the Lenovo quality on a T60P. When I say 'here' I mean in my first hand experience with it.
Here's someone who agrees with me: http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=2864&Re...
No complaints here either, I've been using Fedora 7 on a T60 for the past 5 months or so and it's been great. Hardware feels solid. Driver-wise everything works except hibernate.
This is weird. I am too have been ThinkPad fan for a long time and I only found their build toughness increase over time, including Lenovo era.
MBP is a nice machine too, but it's touchpad/buttons unit is nowhere as ergonomic/productive as Thinkpad's.
What was once a nice rugged feeling case, now feels like cheap plastic.
We've had a rash of Lenovo issues lately. Failed hard drives, weird hangs, randmonly blank screens, etc.
Myself, I use a MacBook. I had an MBP before this, and will probably get another one soon. I went from a 17" MBP to the MB, but I miss the more powerful MBP graphics.
