Default laptop purchasing advice

guys, it's been a while. i need some advice on a potential laptop purchase, hopefully someone can give some info.

the field has been narrowed to the asus u46 and thinkpad t420 -- fairly similar specs, apart from the graphics cards (nvs4200m vs gt540m), the asus comes out slowly cheaper. i'm using them for work and light gaming (no crysis 2 or anything similar but hopefully some sh4!!).

my big question and the deciding factor relates to build quality and durability -- both manufacturers are known for solid build quality. a couple of family members have had thinkpads w/ no problems, i have an old asus f6 where the only issue is the battery (my own fault, poor management).

any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated
