Oh China (Score 1)

I think I understand where you're coming from. Even though everything is made in China it's still different to buy something from a Chinese owned corporation. I have a T40 from just before the switch. It's 4 yrs old and still amazing. But heck I'm not gonna buy a Lenovo again. I worked in IT at my university and the T60s broke all the time. I would go for a Toshiba, Sony, Acer, or Apple. Good luck. It's so sad when one has to replace their baby.
