Lenovo (Business series laptops are extremely sturdy)
Panasonic Toughbook (These are rocks)

the panasonic's toughbook's name is well deserved ive seen it put through some extreme testing. they finally broke one from a drop test. granted they needed to toss it off the side of a british aircraft carrier onto a parked car; but they did itYeah I was looking into these. Only thing is they are HUGE it seems..
there are no other pc laptops that have the same build quality as mac book pros i don't know why everyone here is so slow
if they want to prove me wrong, they'll have to beat me at aim400kg
only thing probably closest is the elitebook series from hp, but they usually have crap lcds
lenovo thinkpads are what I prefer styling wise and they have very good build quality. It's a totally different style than apple's.

Yeah this is what I have found. I bought my current laptop specifically because it was all aluminum casing, and supposed to compare to Apple's laptops, but it is really totally inferior. The metal bends and and feels cheap.
Might just end up buying a Macbook Pro eventually. It's too bad companies don't invest in competing with Apple's quality. They have (in my opinion) a superior OS with Windows 7, but terrible machines to run it with.
Also I know that building your own is the way to go, I have done that, but I am only interested in laptops nowadays.
I am a longterm pc user, but am unhappy with their seemingly universal poor build quality. I love the software, but they are all made of plastic or weak metal.
Are there any pc laptops that are built as sturdy as macs? Don't really want to make the switch over, but I have been searching for a long time now and have found nothing.
I do not own a computer, but want to run a few programs on my school's computers. They do not let us install our own programs. So, is it possible to run a virtual computer of some sorts on their computer, that has my programs installed? I know that there are services which let you play video games by streaming them, so I assume this would work the same way. Never heard of it though.
So basically;
a) can I get around the problem of wanting to run my own software on computers that do not let me do this
b) do "virtual computer" servicse exist, and if so can I get linked?
