This article makes me more glad than ever that I saved all my old Stinkpads (a name I use cynically, yet affectionately). They're the only brand of laptop I've used since when they were made by IBM. I have 8 or so now. None of them quit working -- all replaced just because I wanted a newer model. Reliability and Linux readiness has never really been an issue (except the normal Nvidia driver issues). These, along with a stash of IBM M-101 keyboards keeps my ergonomics consistent since the 90s.
