I've had one of my IBM laptops for over 5 years now. I've put a little more memory in, replaced the CD player with a DVD player, replaced the battery once but the second one died ages ago so wall power only and it shows a few cracks.
Other than that it works brilliantly. It's been dropped, wet, taken around half the globe and has had to endure thousands of hours of heavy typing... the thing just won't die on me.
It's an 800Mhz celeron processor with 256mb ram but Windows XP Pro runs fine on it and I use it to surf the internet and to edit documents / program php. I won't be upgrading it until it really dies on me and if that will happen I will splash out another 2.5-3k to buy another IBM.
