Interesting, I have the same sentiment but the opposite conclusion. The plastic case on my most recent Thinkpad spontaneously cracked around the fan vent. Never dropped, babied it everywhere, no idea how it could have happened. The laptop still works, it just can't be moved anymore. So I switched to an aluminum laptop. Life's too short to put up with crappy Lenovo plastics.
