If you want TOP...I would say get a Toshiba...its slightly cheaper than a Lenovo but more reliable.
If you just one something thats inexpensive and not too shabby, go for Dell and Acer. Been using an Acer myself and its not too bad. Customer service is good and the price at that time was a lot more cheaper than Toshiba, Lenovo, etc
If you want a nice looking laptop with EXCELLENT customer service, get a HP (not a Compaq...but HP). Its design is sleek and the people there would change anything without question.
If you just want a laptop for style and dont mind forking out cash...get a Sony VAIO....
Lenovo (IBM) is the most expansive...unless you are a road warrior, i dont think its really worth the money.
If you do alot of graphics, get an iMac.
Other brands that are up and comming are Asus and Ftech...Asus is building itself up quite well, but not too famous as of now.
A balance of everything would be a HP. Their printers suck and their cameras are not going anywhere with Canon around. For laptops and desktops I would say go for a HP. They have good speakers. You pay a bit more but they have an extendable warrentee.
If you have the dough...go for high end Acers and Toshiba's (btw there is no such thing as a low end Toshiba and Vaio). High end Acers come with BETTER speaker and carbon fiber body. Toshiba's have a good design and proven track quality.
Not too sure about the rest as these are the famous brands.
Hope this was helpful

Here is what I recommend in ORDER and why. But you have to LOOK at the laptops for your self and decide on Screen Size, Weight and other attributes yourself. (basically, computer speed and memory are basic stuff) I mean, I would not pick out underwear for you either.
1. Toshiba - well constructed and great tech support
2. HP - well construction and good tech support But also MANY MANY flavors of sizes and such
3. Compaq - good and cheap. Also, good tech support
So visit STAPLES, WalMart or Costco and look at these different models. I recommend these stores, because they do not hassle you about returns. Your new laptop may have been broken during shipment, so you do not want to hassle with getting it fixed, YOU WANT TO RETURN IT or exchange for a good one. (accidents happen). Some retail stores charge a 15 percent restocking fee.
On my do not buy list are:
Sony - terrible tech support, terrible at returns, so if you buy a LEMON, you are stuck with it.
Dell - poor mechanical design, tech support is OK though. Let's not forget the EXPLODING BATTERIES.

Go to your local library and get a hold of Choice Magazine. There you will find top brands and comparisons between models and any special features or problems. Have a look at the link below. You need to pay to have a lookover the internet, but the magazine would be free to browse thru at the library.

HP, Lenovo.
There's also Dell and Toshiba, but some airlines prohibit them because of fire problems.
There are also many also-rans. Laptops are a dime a dozen, pretty much all alike, except for batteries. What you get from the big brands, however, is support if you need it.
