We have a handful of lenovo's at work(the T-series). Havent heard any complaints about them so far. And we had one very vocal dev that wouldnt use anything but lenovo :) (he had like 5 different generations of T-series and X-series). They also have some consumer series, which (according to the before mentioned vocal dev) one should avoid.

But I also see alot of people running windows on macbooks. So I guess that could work too.

I used to swear by IBM thinkpads, but I think the quality has gone down hill since being sold to lenovo.

I have a Thinkpad T43p with 2gb of ram from 2006 that still runs pretty good today (with a new battery), on the other hand pretty much every lenovo I have bought since (2 or 3 of them) have all had some problem that prevented me from using them.

I no longer recommend thinkpad to anyone.
