I used my T61 for 6 years and had to give it up because the graphic chip busted. Since then I have used multiple laptops Dell to Apple. I even installed Ubuntu on my Apple mac Pro, but it would not suspend and heat up inside my laptop bag.. finally shit blew up. I have been using Xiaomi notebook pro for the last 8 months. Even with a hefty customs, it was cheaper by 80% for any laptop of the same configuration. The build quality feels like Macbook Pro. Ubuntu works out of box.. It suspends and everything works except the fingerprint reader. The xiaomi notebook pro is as heavy as high end macbook Pro and the build quality is brilliant! The config is crazy and haven't faced a problem yet. I check the quality of a good laptop by the how much the lid oscillates if you chuck it a little. Macbook Pro and xiaomi don't oscillate at all.. Dell, compaq, Asus oscillate a good 10-20 degrees.
