what makes of laptop do people recommend.

looking to swop from my dying desktop to laptop soon.

currently have a dell but people have warned me against getting another due to poor battery life and bad after-sales service - has anyone had these experiences?

thanks.

    Asus & Sony imo.

    Asus were found to only have a 15% return rate during a 3 year stint unlike all the other big companies which had 30%+

    Ah yes, Asus - I forgot about them - I'd recommend them too.

    I've had a couple of Acer laptop machines over the years, and was happy with them at the price. Sony are probably better, at a price.
