Buying a new computer, tiny bit of advice needed

[Baloki]

What's wrong with Toshiba?

Build quality and repairs are of poor quality.

In my opinion, Asus make the best motherboards and graphics cards in the world.

My motherboard has done pretty well since I got it

I've never used Fujitsu.

We have two Lifebooks here and both are quite old and still in perfect nick, their quite good little survivors

my HP desktop was a beast, so I tend to disregard any HP bashing people tend to do.

I've never had anything but trouble from HP's, the components always seem cheap and need replacing well before they should do, but that's just personal experience.

Or you could get a refurbished macbook ^_^

Come to the dark side luke?

Vaio and Alienware laptops has yet to let me down. My Vaio lasted a really long time and didn't lag as much as the laptop I have now does, and my Vaio was from back in 2000.

Vaio's are awful machines, full of proprietary hardware and software you can't get rid of easily, even with a complete reinstall of the OS using a Windows CD you would have to borrow from someone else as they don't come with them.
