Let me repost my previous answer and it might help you: Let me start by enumerating why you should not but these brands: 1.) HP/Compaq - does not have good quality control of parts from supplier like optical drives, TFT's etc. According to a supplier (I can not mention names), he said that he is pissed off with DELL because they reject 40 to 50% of his optical drives due to quality issues but happy with HP because he accepts them with a discount. I have two of this before an Armada M300 & HP Pavillion and sold them both after having so much problems and no help from stupid HP. Don't buy this. Offer this to your enemy. 2.) IBM - which is now LENOVO. I have so many customer complaints about IBM notebooks now. It seems it's not as good as the original thinkpad and getting replacement parts is very difficult. A Lenovo officer informed me that they have so many internal problems because the owners are concentrating on margins rather than customer satisfaction. Remember Lenovo bought IBM PC's & Laptops and they want to get their money back fast. 3.) ACER - This is a clone company trying hard to play in the branded market. This brand has been failing technical testing from large corporate customer. A lot of business establishments does not recognize this brand and wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. 4.) Toshiba - This is actually a good brand. Because they only concentrate on the portables. Known for their quality but a lot of times very pricy. Check for the nearest support center and the parts are a little bit hard to get hold of. 5.) Fujitsu - expensive Japanese made notebook but I honestly do not recommend it. 6.) Sony VAIO - Now this brand & model is very good but it's too rich for my blood. It's like buying a Porsche but a regular Ford is already OK for the same job. I had one of this before and I sold it. 7.) DELL - For me this is the best buy and good value for money. I've seen how DELL assembles and test their units and they are so bloody strict. If they find fault in one component they stop the assembly line (liking stopping the presses) remove the ssuspected batch problem and replace it with another batch and they could do that in less than 2 hours and test them again and again. Their back-end or support is fantastic. DELL was the first one who informed the world of the battery problem which they get from Sony. They have the website and replaced the battery fore free. Only after several months later other brands follow and finally admit it. I am so sorry but I started using DELL only May this year and it extremely good. I have torture tested it and never failed on me. Good luck and so sorry for the long comments.
