I've had about 20 laptops in 10 years, I've still got (looks at shelf) seven here in the house - 4 IBM ThinkPads (600X, 701C, TransNote, X30) and 3 Sony VAIOs (C1 Picturebook, X505, TZ150). I love the build quality of the ThinkPads, but every time I look for something in a subnotebook, no one's been able to touch Sony- my Picturebook has been my travel laptop for years. The Sonys have also been quite solid, and they're regularly rated among the top brands in reliability; I've never understood why rumors persist that they break all the time. Heck, most computers are built by the same few companies in Taiwan and Korea, so everyone's build quality is pretty much the same.
