As a tech, I'm extremely partial to Lenovo for their reliability. I've also been knocked unconscious several times by Compaq and Sony's lousy tech support when trying to get info about a customer's laptop (and some desktops for that matter). Spend some time researching recent reviews of whatever you end up putting in your "serious consideration" list before you buy. A little extra research can go a long way towards steering you away from potential problems down the road.
