The non thinkpads from lenovo are a lot less durable than the thinkpads.

Thinkpads are generally just great, although the *x40 models that removed
the physical buttson for the trackpoint were pretty universally hated.
And a few models recently have had BIOS disasters (switch the graphics
setting to discrete from automatic and the machine is bricked, and this
is the documented recommended setting for Linux users.  So much for
QA testing.)
