This guy is a big fan of Samsung, despite the case cracking on his? Sounds like a range of laptops to avoid.
I have a Thinkpad T410, it has been very solid, I don't think there is one item that will physically wear out anytime soon, except for the power plug, which is larger than most brands, but has started to become loose. Oh for a magsafe power plug! Actually the little bumps on the trackpad are starting to wear off in the middle, but this doesn't seem to affect it's function.
- mindslight 12y ago> except for the power plug ... has started to become loose Another great thing about Thinkpads is they're quite easy to fix. I assume you mean the jack? That should be a separate piece, attached to the motherboard with a cable. If it's just wobbly, then it just needs to be tightened, possibly even without opening the laptop. If it's a poor connection, then you should be able to get a new one for <$5. On the T61, both of these things are dead easy, but check the T410 Hardware Maintenance Manual for the details. (of course, now I'm thinking about the prospect of replacing this piece with a magsafe connector...)
