In 2 days I'm buying a laptop. Which manufacturer would you suggest?
I'm thinking about Lenovo but I'm not very much into tech so I'm not fluent in this subject. Don't even suggest buying an Apple :D

I think Acer are good or HP - depends how much choice you have and you can see what prices are like or if anyone has a deal on.

I've had a negative experience with my Samsung notebook and my father already had troubles with HP before. Go with a Dell or an ASUS. Lenovo is pretty much IBM bought by the chinese, so I'd risk saying that it would be a good deal, too.

ASUS (not Acer) is the best.

Dell, Toshiba, HP. Either one would be fine

Asus tends to be pretty solid, and Lenovo is a good choice as long as you are not buying a base line one.
Virtually all computers are Chinese made crap at this point, but Acer/Gateway/Emachines tend to sit among the bottom rung in build quality. Dell and HP tend to sit somewhere in the middle while (usually) Samsung, ASUS and Lenovo are at the top. Toshiba can fall anywhere in there, just depends. I think that's basically it on major brands

ASUS by far. You get what you pay for, and they are the Nokia of laptops. Only downfall, you have to have a high budget to afford one that is capable of more...

I love my HP Pavillion G6. I think I paid like $100 for it and Its plenty powerful and ran at 2.7 Ghz when i got it. Of course, ive done a few "minor" mods :P

Depends on what you want to achieve with it. Do you just want to browse the web and listen to music? Do you want to do schoolwork and use processing applications, Do you like computer video games, Do you want a laptop that performs like a desktop? Ask yourself those questions and do research to see if the type you want is or isn't able to do that. Also what your budget is, and work from that.

Usually HP's and Lenovo's are good for pricing, performance and design. Just standard pc operations.

When it comes to a laptop, you don't want to get one too cheap, or too expensive.
