Hate dell with a passion.  
 
GF has the old inspiron, mate has the new one. Both good spec but slow as shit with all the Dell shite on there. 
 
Always been a fan on Vaios. Soild machines too. Spilt a bottle of beer in on once. dried it out and its still going 4 years on.

Agree with ed. 
 
You can pick up cheaper machines but they will break and look cheap and nasty.  That's how they make them so cheap. Personally i like to see what i'm going to get so always look in stores and then go out and purchase online.

A sony vaio is a great machine for an everyday user, great all round machines and aren't likely to break after a few years. 
 
The amount of issues i've seen lately with the new dells (had to have 150 mobo's replaced on latitude e5500's in the past 3 months) and acer isn't to be touched with a barge pole.  
 
Consumer products nowadays are built to break, apple do make products that last however the price tag reflects this.
