There is indeed some a lack of quality notebook for processional. My single advice would be to avoid any device from the "consumer line" of the main PC manufacturer. The PC industry have made some amazing progress this past 5 years, but the reliability is still lacking. (maybe except the xps line which is having good reviews, but again most reviews focus on the multimedia side of the equation) You should look into business oriented laptops : HP elite books, dells latitudes, Toshiba tecras. Haven't looked into them for a while now, but HP elitebooks are usually great in term of reliability (but sometimes have sucky screens) Which thinkpad do you currently own ?
