We have an 5+ yr old Asus notebook running Ubuntu 8.04 here at the office.  It hasn't been repaired since.  Most of the notebooks we have in the 3-5 yr old range are Acer (Acer, emachines, and a few Gateway-brand units) -- We've had a few of these unit' casings replaced though.

I'm currently using an HP Elitebook 840 G1 fully configured with Ubuntu LTS and its pretty sweet.
