I'm considering buying a notebook, probably a thinkpad or Dell.
Dell is cheaper, but thinkpads are well know for their sturdy and solid design, how is this with Dell laptops?
I don't want a ``throw-away notebook'' like the crap Acer or Toshiba sells, use them for two years and they break, I want something that lasts, and survives that occasional stupid idiot pushing my notebook off the table, or stepping on it, or ....

I would not call this good, my old Geforce 5200 FX card gives me ~2500FPS.
As a sidenote, you can get some Dell notebooks (Including the 630) with nVidia cards, IMO this is worth it because the nVidia drivers are not only a lot faster but also support extra features like TwinView etc.
Of course, this is not an option if you're anti-blob.
