Try to avoid the following brands:

Acer(AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!) 

Compaq

HP

 

Go for Dell, it wont let u down.

 

Or if u want top config for budget price, check out Fujitsu-Siemens.

 toshiba and acer are the same company how u trust one and u dump the other. anyway almost 80% of the laptops have the same motherboard  the only difference is the cooling system. hp is the best according to that. but if u want to spend more go for Apple, Asus; or IBM T series and not lenovo. Trust me i worked 2 years in this domain. if u can find Asus it will be good coz they made their own motherboard. Ibm used to made their motherboard. by the way T series is expansive coz its made of titanium; and it's water proof. one more thing if u r looking for a small laptop with high performance go to ibm X series and again not lenovo logo. cheers

I am having bitter experience with HP Pavilion series with AMD processor.  

After giving it to Redigton (HP’s only authorise Service Center) for many times they told me that they are getting lots of complains for note books with same config. AMD processor generates heat and that damages the board (they replaced it twice in my note book) and other parts. It also reduces battery life. In my case, it runs for only 35 - 40 minutes even after choosing all power saving options.

The most common question we get around here is simple: "What laptop

should I buy?" Being a generally difficult person by nature, I usually

respond with my own series of questions: "What size screen do you want?

How much do you want to spend?" and so on. But sometimes people just

want a simple suggestion, based on what I actually like.

So, here is a jargon-free list of the current crop of laptops that I'm

digging, either because they give you good bang for your buck, they

excel in their specific category, or because they just plain rock.

Lenovo ThinkPad X300

The

ThinkPad X300 breaks new ground by packing a broad display, full-size

keyboard, and nearly every feature a mobile user needs into a sleek,

lightweight case.

Gateway P-6831FX

We

loved the pitch for the Gateway P-6831 FX: a 17-inch laptop with 3GB of

RAM and Nividia's GeForce 8800 graphics card for only $1,350. But keep

an eye on price changes to get the best deal.

Toshiba Portege R500

Toshiba's

SSD version of the Portege R500 may be the best ultraportable laptop

available right now, and it packs in much of what the MacBook Air lacks

while weighing nearly half as much.

Apple MacBook

If

you're not afraid to take the Mac OS plunge, it's hard to find a laptop

designed with more care and precision than the 13-inch MacBook.

Dell XPS M1530

The

latest revision to Dell's flagship line, the XPS M1530 features a

redesigned case and some of the highest-end components available,

making it arguably the best 15-inch rig on the market today.

What are your requirements ?

What will you use it for ?

Will you be moving it around a lot or be more stationary ?

Is Battery life important to you ?

Do you want a small Screen or large ?

Do you prefer Windows or Mac OS? 

Without knowing this answering you will be hit and miss.
