In my own humble opinion and if your wallet can afford it, there are only 2 names to remember when it comes to laptops.

1. DELL
2. TOSHIBA

The rest of the competition doesn't come close in terms of durability, features, and web technical support. Again, this is my own humble opinion.

I've owned 2 dell laptops since 1999. First was an Inspiron 7000 366Mhz. My second and my current laptop is an Inspiron 8100 1.0Ghz. My first one survived 2 falls from a height of one meter after having tripped on the AC adaptor which was attached to it. No problems. Sold it to my cousin to get my 2nd one.

Based on my experience and on the experience of my friends who have Dells also, technical support was never a problem here in the Philippines because they never had to have their laptops serviced in the first place. Maganda ang build quality ng Dell. Hope it stays what way.

Go for a Dell if you can.
