I bought a pair of Toshiba laptops 2½ years ago and have never had a problem with either, apart from needing to reinstall Vista as it got so slow.
I have dropped mine dozens of time while it has been running (keep tripping over the mains lead) and it still soldiers on.
Surely more than 3 times suggests a change in use might be in order? Extension lead?

It isn't the length of the lead that is a problem but the forgetfullness of the user.

Stick with Dell's or Lenovos/IBM's they soldier on for years and just need a re-image to speed them back up again. saved a fair few D505's and R40/T40's this way and users are always amazed at how quick the old machines are even alongside my new R400 unit running the same OS and software set :)
