I'm typing this on a ThinkPad I bought in 2010. I really hate messing around with hardware, and I just wanted a laptop where I could use Ubuntu and not have to think so hard. Within 6 months the speakers on the laptop were broken, and it was overheating and shutting off frequently even though I was keeping it clean and using it on a glass table. It used to have trouble with the backlight to the screen not going on, but when I took it apart to show it to a friend it started working again (figures). I've never had problems like this with a laptop before, and even though I really like the keyboard and design I couldn't recommend a ThinkPad to someone else after this experience.
