Dell laptops in my experience have been pretty decent. I had an Inspiron way back in the day and it worked pretty well for me.

IBM (which is now Lenovo) are pretty good too. Styling might be a bit plain for some, but build quality is great. I've had my T42 for almost 4 years now and it's still chugging along strong. The 9 cell battery still gives me 4 full working hours of charge as well.

Lower end HP's I would stay well away from. They're definitely budget and not the greatest build quality.

Like I've mentioned earlier though, every manufacturer is going to have a bad machine every so often. It's how well they treat you and resolve your issue that makes the difference. Having hardware issues and getting an RMA isn't a big deal to me - getting the run around and not backing up their product pisses me off to no end.
