The Lenovo Thinkpads & HP EliteBooks are both solid machines with not much to choose between them. Dell Precision I would say are on a par, I haven't seen one of the latest generation ones yet but the last ones were alright. They are the only three I would spend my own money on. Fujitsus are pretty crappy, and having shelled out £1700 for a top of the range Sony once in my life I will never do it again. They simply aren't targeted at professional users.
