Special order it with a ssd hard drive. Add the extra warranty. Done deal.
The Latitude E6___ laptops I've seen and worked with in the past couple of years have been first class, except for the dull LCD panels (similarly dull to what you find in most consumer laptops). But if you buy them new the price is high, instead buy from their outlet where you get the full original 3 year warranty, and frequent coupons make the prices very competitive:

Unlike other posters above, in recent years I have had and seen too many bad experiences with Lenovo Thinkpads. Not only failures of motherboards, LCD panels, keyboards, power plugs (I realize it can happen to any brand) but Lenovo's EasyServ repair center refuses to fix them under warranty claiming damage by user.
