What are the best laptop brands?

[JLV2k5]

Hello. I am getting a new laptop soon and would like to know everyone's option on a good laptop brand. I have included 8 popular brands within the poll. Feel free to select more than one type if you think they are good.

Thanks a lot.

lenovo is the best if you want it to last and you buy a higher end one (~$1,500). they are very strong and reliable.

But i have a HP and it works great. I would have chosen gateway, i have one that is 4 years old and it runs like it is one day old. However it seems the newer gateways are not as good.

I've had an Apple, Acer, Toshiba, Gateway, HP, Compaq, and Dell laptops and I've never had major issues with them personally. I usually go for the computer that has the best price/performance, brand doesn't mean much to me.

I'm going to have to recommend Asus. Probably the best laptop brand in terms of quality of hardware and performance. HP is probably the best on that list though.

I have an HP and it's not bad, but they use horrible quality hardware like most PC manufacturers. I've heard good things from Lenovo, and Asus makes some great netbooks.

oftentimes a brand will be made by many manufacturers (unless the manufacturer makes its own laptops - asus). the more expensive high end line of a brand tends to be more well made than a cheapo model.

I voted everything but gateway. The reason is because i have never had any experience with gateway.

Levono and HP are probably the best in that list. But what about Asus??

For PC I would say

HP (business class)
Lenovo
Asus

My preferred laptop is Macbook Pro

Dell and Lenovo make really good laptops.

I also think Asus needs to be on the list. They make really high quality products.

I like the look of vaio machines but lenovo makes the most sturdy machines by far. My dad has had a lenovo for... about ever! Since they got fingerprint scanning on them basically.
