I am relpacing a Dell XPS M1530 that I received refurbished when Dell replaced another refurbished computer, I have had the XPS M1530 totally refurbished by Dell three times so I decided to get rid of it rather than have to hassel with Dell and have them send me yet another reburbished laptop. 
I am wondering what brand of laptop would be good to replace it with, ie: HP, Compaq, Lenovo, Acer, ect. I will have only about $550 to spend on something new, no more refurbished machines ever.

I would appreciate any help that I can get.
