I have a Toshiba Satellite 2410 that has lasted me about 4 years now. I can't even count the number of times I've dropped it, broken parts, and it's still working. The DC jack harness doesn't work perfectly, display hinges are broken, battery casing broken. My brother even dropped it from about 6 feet onto cement and it still runs.
It has died twice on me, at least tried, but I brought it back to life both times. First, it started hanging for me in linux, so I went into Windows and got the message some cooling system is failing. So I took it apart and put it back together, no more problems afterwords. Then, several months later the display would just shut off and notebook die after couple minutes, then seconds being on. I really thought it was it this times. I took it apart again, looked like the heat sink was a little loose. So I tighened it up after putting some new thermal paste on the cpu. No problems since.
So I've been very happy with my Toshiba, really suprised it's running considering the abuse I've put it through.
