What's a good laptop brand?

never_enough · 10-15-2011, 12:49 PM

I have an asus netbook and enjoy it. Brother and sister both have toshibas and they really like them. 4 of the 5 people with HP's that I know have nothing but problems. My brothers previous laptop was an HP and it literally fell apart in less than 2 years. Not to mention getting sent back for serious overheating problems.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is, go to a store, try them all and pick what you like. Only one I suggest not getting is an HP.

Lenovo Asus or Dell IMO. The lenovo is the best choice but usually a little more expensive. I've used Macs in the course of my work and don't care for them and the last time I looked they were unjustifiably expensive. On the other hand I'm not a professional graphic designer and I don't do any digital music or video editing but I'm told by those who do that the Mac is still far superior for those tasks.
I use Linux on most of my machines but I realize that requires a learning curve that most non IT people won't find rewarding.
