ThinkPads rock(ed). The current generations (post 20, i.e. W520) have started to deteriorate in what I'd call developer friendliness (still need to pass a special boot line parameter to the kernel to get the system to boot up properly with the dedicated nvidia GPU) as they've changed the keyboard and mouse buttons (no longer 3 above the trackpad and 2 below, only 3 above) and trackpad itself. + quality issues with the modern models and the build feels weak compared to, e.g., the T61. So, to be honest, I'm not sure.
