Oh, the last couple years thinkpads have been made by lenovo, and Ive 
read that the lenovo thinkpads are not as durable as the pre-lenovo 
thinkpads. I still like thinkpads, infact, i wont give up my old 600x! 

Last year, i needed a new laptop, and I ended up getting an acer, which 
is pretty decent for the price, but i still use the averatec the most. A 
friend wanted an inexpensive laptop, and I found her a deal on an acer 
also, for about $500, she got a new laptop, printer, and wifi router. 

I also like the apple laptops, but but like the thinkpads, i dont much 
like the price :(
