ASUS ALL THE WAY, i used all kinds of stuff in my life. DELL sucks, HP sucks, SAMSUNG...um...maybe...VAIO and the rest are just crap, ASUS offers more for like a quarter of the price. bought my asus laptop 2.2ghz on new egg for like 350 bucks and the rest could only offer like 1.7ghz and less ram and everything.
so stick to asus and amd
