I have owned Dells all my life (well, it isn't a very long life). In
the last 5-7 years I haven't been able to buy a dell and not have
problems with it. I believe there quality has gone down hill.
The T40 is the first IBM that I have ever owned, and I love it. It is
the best computer I have ever used/seen. It is well built. I live the
college dorms where almost everybody has a dell. I know numerous people
who have had trouble with them. They also just don't feel as 'solid'.
On another note, this is my second within 6 months. My first one
suffered a terrible drowning. I left my windows open during a big storm
and came home to my poor thinkpad in a puddle. It didn't survive. I
got this new one (and upgraded) through insurance. Ironically my
roomates cheapo toshiba survived. Oh well.
