toshiba and sony are the best quality IMHO
Asus is a great brand that has grown A LOT... i live in japan and the most popular is toshiba.
it different at different places tho. but EVERY person from china i know loves Asus. and in my time in korea, well, laptops samseung is used a lot, but i hardly consider it any good.
i wouldnt even use a Compaq for a paperweght.... u wouldnt believe the expeierience i have had witht hat idiot company.
story goes... TK buys new compaq, within 3 weeks it caught on fire due to their fauly. i send it back under warrenty and they tell me yes we understand u need laptop, back in 2 weeks max of 3.... fuckin 9 weeks later i get it back... some how they caused these problems...
different motherboard that cant run my HDD properly (either that or the fucked the cables too lol)
they managed to rip four keys out of my keyboard. (B, V, G, H)
my space bar was held in on 1 side
they cracked my screen.
fucking idiot mob if u ask me. shit customer service, as i would expect from an american owned company.
i taken the HDD out of the PC, and smashed it in the harvey norman carpark, everyone thought i smashed a brand new laptop for fun LMFAO. that was years ago when my life wasnt as dependant on a PC. nowdays i cant go without a PC, so my last 4 laptops have been top of the range toshibas, had no problems at all.
