I have a samsung qx410 and it is actually of pretty nice quality, and has a good keyboard my only complaint would be the touchpad but most of the time I have a mouse connected or am not using the mouse. HP is absolutely the worst laptop brand I have ever owned, I've known plenty of people with HPs and almost every single laptop has overheated to the point of shutting down the computer and breaking within a year and a half. Thinkpads have the added feature of being pretty compatible with linux, though I think some of the nvidia cards that come with the T series are not compatible yet.

Anecdotal data counterpoint: I've had three hps in five years- one hard drive crash was the only issue, aside from a keyboard button falling off of one. (Kids have them now and they are doing fine). Currently running two Asus'- a "business" laptop (UL50V) and an eeePC for travel. Both with Ubuntu/Mint linux. The Biz machine is nice, the eeePC is what it is. Boots fast, standby works in ubuntu, etc. Better value than an ipad for my road needs (although the ipad is nice for other things).
