The fact that you mention durability makes me think of lenovo. They're pretty sturdy if I'm thinking right. I'd recommend checking out Asus also. Finally, check out the forums over at notebookreview.com for info about the various options out there.
Edit: As another poster pointed out, it also helps us to know exactly what you want in a notebook. Since you mentioned a 17inch, I'm guessing you'd prefer a more powerful "desktop replacement" type of notebook.

I
did want a Lenovo until I read about the Chinese / FBI whatever putting backdoors in them..
