Which Laptop Brand The Best?
Posted in Reviews | By AhTim @ November 19th, 2009
“Which model is the best?” “What laptop brand are you using?” These are the most frequently asked questions when my friends want to buy laptop.
What is your answer for the question? Apple? HP? Oh…I always suggest friend to buy DELL or HP. Now I felt guilty when saw the Malfunction Rate Graph 
HP Laptop is Good?
According to SquareTrade report, HP hit the highest malfunction rate for laptop more than 3 years. Which mean you have one quarter of chances to return back HP laptop for repair after 3 years. Acer even better than it.
No doubt ASUS at first place but Toshiba surprise me when its name at second place. I should say other than the old fashion design, the quality is good. Now I would change the answer when people ask me.
For me, I’ll still prefer Apple MacBook, will get one very soon. How about you? What laptop are you using?

I’ve been using Dell for 2 years and in my opinion it is one of the best laptop manufacturers. I’ve never had problems with it.

I have a Toshiba and I’m not really satisfied with that. It is my second Toshiba and both were getting extremely hot really fast. maybe there is something wrong with the coolers they use.

I use Dell Inspiron 6400. Already 3 years and no hardware problem. My laptop runs nearly 20+ hrs a day, 7 days a week. Now the battery is gone and the fan is noisy. Other than that, its still good.

I think is Brand of HP Laptop is better for me. Although, I have never hought or use any laptop before. According to the market research, I trust HP more then Sony, Dell, Acer. Now, I am using Acer PC home based Computer.

Working in the warranty department, I receive more HP and Acer notebooks. These two brands, I definitely won’t intro my friends. As for Dell, I suggest end user to purchase it directly from its official website, rather than buying from any reseller, because the after sales service you can get from a reseller is very limited (better deal with Dell yourself).
I’d suggest Toshiba for its lower malfunction rate. However, my notebook is BenQ, I have been using it since 2007, and it’s still working fine. Doesn’t mean that BenQ is good. I’d have to say it’s luck.
Sony is a bit over price (but its design is nice). For Apple..I’d love to have my hands on it someday, but not too recent, as I’m not a Mac user and I can’t afford it at the moment.

HP has got to be the worst laptop I have ever owned. It overheats and the computer just literally falls apart over time. I currently own an Asus and it’s awesome.

I don’t know what’s with that bad press for HP laptops. It’s true that many of their stuff is rubbish (printers!) but so far I haven’t got any problems with my HPs, and now I use my third one. Maybe I’m just lucky. I didn’t experience any heating problems at all.

I really have had a great experience with our laptop made by Toshiba. My old Satellite Pro was one of theirs, too. Had great support and everything worked right first time. I would recommend them.

Indeed, HP sucks BIG TIME. My experience with HP Pavilion DV2-1003AX was the dark time of my life. I got rid of the laptop by selling it mud cheap. The laptop is EXTREMELY slow, defective, overheat = SUCKS!!!
