On Tpad number five. I love my IBM units. They last, are tough, and have standard stuff others think are options.
In answer to your question, I don't know about the lifespan of a notebook. It is like anything other than a wife, children, or pets. You still must care for it, take care of it, and update it.
The only reason I ever sold one of my Thinkpads were because I wanted a more advanced unit, not because it broke.
BTW, you will spend much more for an IBM than a Dell, or any other make. They all have something to offer, but they are like cheap women, fun for awhile then the shine goes away. The Thinkpad is subtle in appearance, dependable, and carrys a certain panache.
Damn, I am gushing about a friggin machine. But there is some hope for me. I was going to get the new A31p, and opted for a nice Miller wire feed welder.
Go figure.
