HP/Toshiba seem to be the best value for money IMO
ASUS i still fence sit a bit
Sony way overpriced
Acer i lost count how many i had in for warranty work
Dell is pretty average, their customer service isnt too flash either
Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

I got a secondhand IBM T43p for $450 from my computer guy. 15" screen, bluetooth, wi-fi, fingerprint reader, dvd burner, 2gig ram, 80 gig hd. Im sure that if i wanted to, i could spec it up at some stage. It does everything i need it to for now.

the one i picked up was immaculate! not a scratch or dead pixel. For a 3 year old laptop with the original battery, it lasts over 2 and a half hours before needs charging. (the T43p has the larger battery)

yep they are very good laptops indeed, and can be roughed up and still work fine for years. Ive worked with stacks over the years and found them to be as you all mention very durable.
In my experience, second hand laptops are a big nono, unless you know exactly what's been done to it in it's life.
A prime example is, you can hide damage to a laptop better to that of a desktop, but at the same time, laptops are more prone to damage* due to it being "portable". E.g. dropped, knocked, jarred, left on in a bag and cooked or liquid ingression.
*To this date I am using my 9th laptop since 2005. I've had a Compaq M2218, another Compaq (I think V62xx something), a Toshiba M200 or similar, another Toshiba (A300 or P300), another Toshiba (U400) again, another Toshiba again (U400), an ASUS, a HP Mini and I'm currently using a HP.
HP, Toshiba and IBM are very well built and it does take a bit to destroy them. Pete's Toshiba took a fall about 1M off a bench to a concrete floor and still works.
