Which company makes the most reliable laptops?

I've had very good experience with the Acer Aspire series. First bought one for my wife, then my mother, now myself. Great bang for the buck. My wife's PC is about a year old and no problems (ok, the battery doesn't last that long). Lots of functionality for the money and the screens are among the best I've seen on laptops.\n\nI recently purchased (on impulse) an Acer Aspire 5003WLMi at Staples. Upgraded the memory from 512MB to 768MB, bought a Targus backpack, a couple of jump drives and it was still under $900, and no rebates.\n\nMy work laptop is a Dell Inspiron and I like it but it has had the motherboard replaced and the keyboard so far, and it's less than two years old. And it was about $2,700 new.\n\nCheck out Staples and Circuit City if you're into bricks and mortar, they seem to be pretty good.

toshiba usually make great laptops, i have used dell, compaq, fujitsu, hp and toshiba laptops they just differ in their processing powers. now i just look at the specs not much on the brand but just as long as they are branded, depending on how you'll use it that's where the specs go in. most laptops nowadays have buitl-in wireless cards if it has none i believe you can buy a plug in

Toshiba satellites have always been reliable for me.  At work and at home.  Have seen many models. They rock!

Best value, 100% of the time on notebooks, is Toshiba.  I've recommended them to a few people, and every one of them that bought one has been completely satisfied with it.  By the way, people usually don't sell a laptop (they're so expensive in the first place) until there's something wrong with it.  I would either buy a new, but not top of the line model, or used if I can test it out first.

IBM doesn't make laptops anymore. However, the company that used to manufacture the laptops for IBM continues in the market (same stuff, different name) as Lenovo.\n\nOther brands I'd recommend are Toshiba and iBook (Mac). If you go to the Mac website they also offer credit and discounts I believe. They have very good quality and they are goood for at least 5 years (most of the laptops start getting trouble after 2 years).\n\nIf you want to get a little more information about the models take a look at http://www.cnet.com/ \nThey have their own and the user's reviews for most of the laptops in the market.

Reliability of the machines they have been producing lately, I have been happy with the models I have purchased for home use. 1 HP (zv5240us) and 1 Compaq Presario (v2565us).\n\nService, no comment. \n\nIn General, Service leaves alot to be desired with most manufactures.

The best quality laptop for the money is the Dell, Inspiron serious. You can get an excellent, fast laptop, with plenty of memory, for around 500 dollars. I have a Dell, and I think it is excellent. I have tried many of the top brands, and nothing else even comes close to Dell.

Good, reliable manufacturers are Asus, Gigabyte  and some models of MSI.  Always checkout some reviews before buying. Toms Hardware Guide and cNet Reviews.\n\nhttp://www.tomshardware.com/\nhttp://reviews.cnet.com/2001-1_7-0.html

To be perfectly honest with you i'm not sure, but ill tell you, toshiba has some bitchen reviews out there.  I have a toshiba satellite computer and it's awsome love the huge view on the monitor, VERY light weight, very slim, decent battery life and a REAL long cord that comes with it.  Comes with a real easy recovery CD to totally wipe out pc if shit gets all messed up on it.  And tech support is great.  All the local computer stores here thought alot about toshibas.  =)

for the best value/performance ratio, i suggest you try checking out aldi or lidl... i know it sounds crazy, but they actually use good quality components from well-known manufacturers such as pioneer and samsung... you don't end up spending money on a brand name.\n\ni got my laptop from lidl about 18 months ago and it was as good a spec as anything out there - and it's still up there, no problems whatsoever.\n\nit also has a three year guarantee, which dell will charge several hundred quid for...\n\notherwise,  toshiba machines are generally regarded as being very reliable. \n\nof course, if you're not doing a lot of gaming, pretty much any laptop will do the trick nowadays. i would advise against a laptop with shared graphics memory however...\n\ntry and get one that has its own dedicated graphics card and video memory...
