Only if you don't like to game. Thinkpads make good work laptops but for gaming they are far behind even mainstream vendors like Dell.
this is true enough. You CAN get one with a good video card, but you're gonna pay through the nose for it.
But I've been in love with Thinkpads for years (the keyboard alone is a deal-closer for me, but the high quality/durability of their products shouldn't be overlooked). Every thinkpad I've had got handed off to a relative after I upgraded, since they still worked good as new.
That said, the A-series of the thinkpad line has the worst rep as far as glitches go, so maybe steer clear of those.
I've also had a Compaq Presario, and had no complaints about it's performance whatsoever. Except the keyboard felt a little flimsy.
