I am on my second Thinkpad/Lenovo, first a G40, now a R61i. I only 
replaced my G40 because it wouldn't hold enough ram to run VMWare 
player. I do not think the quality has suffered at all. I cannot say it 
runs FreeBSD well, though any FreeBSD live CD ran without error and 
everything functioned on the G40. I run FreeBSD in VMWare on the R61i.

Fantastic keyboards, long battery life, great screens. They hold up very 
well as I am hard on equipment. These things are tanks.
