I always endorse ASUS brand, i already tried many asus product and they are really rugged, so i think their laptop is also tough.... I just ready an article last november about laptop failure rate... ASUS ranked 1st followed by toshiba, but i was surprise seeing lenovo being in last 4 for position, lenovo is the adaptation of the IBM, and we all know that IBM is the toughest pc ever. Some of the articles i read said that lenovo aren't using the IBM standard in creating their new laptops, but for me lenovo still has their quality. My office worker said that HP is good (we also use HP desktop in our office, and its quite good) but most of the article i read said that HP are now loosing thier quality (especially compaq). We also has a MSI laptop, I can say that it was good although "nagiinit".
I think the best priority to be consider in choosing a laptop is the specs and price. Then, if all brand has the same specs that's the time to consider the brand.

I agree that Asus represents a good bang-for-the-buck deal. I've bought three Asus laptops the past four years and I'm happy with all of them (the first one got stolen when our house was entered by Akyat Bahay criminals). Regarding Lenovo, though they bought IBM, Lenovo effectively split its laptop business into two tiers: ThinkPads (T, R, X, SL, and W series) and non-TPs (like Y, U, C, and N series). Lenovo ThinkPads still possess the robustness of the original ThinkPads (I know, we use TPs exclusively in the office and several bozo staff have dropped them while madly dashing from meeting to meeting -- no laptop deaths yet due to this).

Personally, I subscribe to the following (in general, as exceptions may always occur)

1. Best Bang for the Buck - Asus
2. Best for Lifestyle and Multimedia Work - MacBook
3. Best Raw Performance - Alienware
4. Best for Corporate Work and Reliability - ThinkPad

Most will recommend based on specs, subjective quality interpretations, reliability (based on personal experience), etc., but I guess my recommendation will be strange as it will be based on the after-sales warranty support.

I've recommended Acer to my friends, friends of friends, relatives, and even parents on the basis of warranty claims.

I've read an article before about the high percentage of laptops that fail to reach even a year before a hardware component begins to fail, with HP being at the top of the list. While I don't intend to discriminate any brands, the obvious case is that there is a possibility that a laptop WILL fail (or any equipment for that matter).

So why Acer? If your laptop bogs down, bring it to their Paco Service Center together with the official receipt, wait for them to assess what needs to be replaced, wait a certain amount of days (for me it takes a week on average - including board replacements), and after that - problem solved and warranty claim.

There are reports though at times that some add-on functions (like if you add bluetooth modules to make the built-in bluetooth button work), minsan nga lang kinakahoy. So I always advise anyone who goes for a claim to double-check that everything works and everything's the same after the replacement (RAM capacity, Hard Drive capacity, etc.). Maraming nagogoyo dito, but to be honest di lang naman sa kanila ang ganito, when I had a Neo and Asus before nagkaexperience rin ako na may kinahoy na piyesa, so regardless of brand it pays to check after a repair's done.

Anyways, bottomline - I'd go with Acer on the basis of fast replacement times when it comes to a part failure. Other manufacturers will also service it, but the queue time will take 3 weeks to 2 months, which, IMO, if that laptop is the only PC you've got, will costs a plenty in terms of productivity.

Just my .02.

In the past (mid 90s to early 2000s), I had Acers dying on me. At that time, Acer hinges also easily broke. I really don't know how Acers are now because I don't bother with them. Recently, I've had experiences with Compaqs easily breaking down (LCD screen failure is very common). This is sad because in the 90s, Compaqs were really very good in terms of performance (consistent speed kings) and quite tough. Unfortunately, Compaqs today have become budget HPs... with HP laptops themselves not really being very great as well.

After-sales support is important, but I'd rather have a laptop that I can really rely on. I've been using ThinkPads since 1995 (it has a 386 if I remember correctly) and NOT ONE ever died on me. The average age of ThinkPads I used went up to 4.5 years, and the old ones were simply handed down, to continue functioning even after an additional 2-3 years more they were obsoleted because of software requirements. And these continue to work despite bumps and drops while turned on.

That's the reason why ThinkPads are used in outer space

for me, i'm using ASUS 1201n very very nice and capable. though its classified as a NETBOOK.
