Agree, Thinkpad is THE best

I've owned many laptops, HP, Dell and Sony etc. and found Thinkpad to be the best. It may not look funcy but feels solid.

Also, you can use a program TPFC to control CPU fan so when CPU is not hot, fan is not running. The laptop is quite like a sleeping baby. Of course, when CPU is hot, the fan will run for a short period of time. I can't find a similar program for my company HP ProBook 6450b, which is noisy all the time.
