Go to PC Magazine's website and check out their section on laptops. I don't own a laptop, but read 3 or 4 computer mags a month including most computer reviews, and from what I've read, would go with something in the IBM Thinkpad line for exceptional durability, which is a necessity because of the high cost of repairing laptops if you have an "oops".
