None
Every manufacturer has laptops that suck. Only some have any outstanding computers.
Asus is my number one pick. the majority of their laptops are very very high quality. Of all the manufacturers Ive seen, Asus has the highest performance entry level laptops, for very competitive prices.
I personally have an acer, which is the best computer Ive ever owned, but it does have things that suck, like non standard drivers that are extremely hard to find.
My roommate has one of the newest 15 series dells, which is pretty pathetic, even though it has the same cpu, gpu, and ram as mine. Its performance has been noticeably lower for some reason, even strait out of the box. The customer service it terrible. I have fixed simple problems with his computer that the technicians didnt know how to. The dell techs are in india, and it can be quite hard to explain your problem to them.
The quality is also lower. Quite a bit lower. And its thick.
When looking for a laptop, It is always important to get a laptop with the best graphics card you can afford, because it is the only part that is not upgradeable.
That is the first thing I look at.
If I was going to buy a laptop right now, these would be my picks.

These are all excellent, but have differences in size, cpu, gpu and hdd space. Its all up to what you want.

As our IT guy says, " A hammer is a hammer."
I tend to agree with him since all of the componenets are silicon chips, plastic and wiring - and let's not forget Windows (or mac). One particular place I like to shop for my stuff prefers to market Acer or Toshiba over Dell. The reasoning is while Dell may be sold in America, it is supported in India. Look around your city for a local place that services what they sell. I avoid the big chains like Best Buy and Circuit City for the sake of I want more personal service and prefer to know my dollars are supporting a local business and not some fat board of directors. Check with you local chamber of commerce and see if you can find a vendor that sells to individuals and businesses alike.

Depends what your doing, if your gaming, and doing business, then go with prolly Dell, or HP, if you need it for designing, printing, word processing, anything thats not gaming or business, then def an Apple, yea sure people bash them, but they really dont have the experience to say they are bad, Ive had 7 apples, in a span of 13 yrs, now 2 of those are current, I have a macbook, and an iMac G5, they are both amazing, so gaming, and business, PC, other then that (design, printing, word processing, networking) Mac

If I had to choose one personally, it would be the new lenovo brand....
IBM sold the thinkpads to Lenovo and they have been updated to a much finer standard than the old "stinkpads"
Whatever you buy, DON"T get just the consumer model. They are impossible to upgrade and or repair, and the business units are much easier to take care of and change parts in. Business class units are also more rugged and last longer than the typical consumer units.

Dell. In my opinion. We have 6 Dell computers, and they perform wonderfully. I've tried others, and HP is pretty good, but I've had excellent experiences with Dell, and I will continue to purchase from them. The main reason I stay with them is because of there ability to customize your computer online, so you can get what is best for YOU.
Hope that helps!

For Gaming go for the Dell XPS
For just webbrowsing and email, you can use Dell Inspiron.
