Toshiba makes the best ones! I have a 17" toshiba that went through 5 or more hands before the CPU died and it was given to me, I replaced it with a brand new core 2 duo and it’s rock solid ever since. The poor thing was dropped so many times that 5 of the screws fell out along with the metal screw-threads and the only broken part is the onboard mic, the case is still fully solid and not showing any sign of falling apart.
I just find it interesting that a laptop was made so well, that every component outlived the CPU which is usually the most durable part, especially considering it was a single core 1.5ghz celeron and this laptop has no problem cooling a 2.4ghz C2D.
