Clevo/Sager-quite possibly some of the best performing laptops out there. Price ain't bad either.

I think I would toss Dell in there as 3rd. I like the looks of many of their units and have never had a problem with their support.

I've never referred to a notebook as "hard"..

Anyway, #1 spot goes to Clevo/Sager with me too. High quality, badass performance.

I'd throw #2 at IBM notebooks.

#2? Number 2 ?!?!?!?!

You're just trying to kill me is all.

OP:

From a support perspective, IBM Thinkpads have been the most reliable and relatively easy to work on (hate changeing LCD covers though. . ugh!). Right now, in my mind, king of the hill belongs to the Thinkpad W series, namely the W700. The Thinkpad x300 / x301 is also very nice. The IdeaPad U110 is interesting. And the Y730 is almost a poor man's W700. After Lenovo, I'm quite impresed with the HP EliteBook series.

For pure gaming performance Clevo / Sager has a high reputation. I've never owned one.

MSI and OCZ have interesting alternatives to Clevo. . . I prefer MSI at the moment due to price, but I'm still not convinced of the build quality.

Then there's Apple, but the price by no means justifies the performance.

I'd never voluntarily own any of the following: Dell, Compaq, Sony, Toshiba, Acer.

Well, it is true, dwellman, at least for me.

If I didn't like to play video games, I would have been an IBM customer for life. You're right. They are the most reliable machines I know of. Ever.

But they just don't carry enthusiast graphics cards..:(

I would go with Lenovo. They make such hardcore engineered notebooks. So much thought and engineering going into their product. Although they dont offer highend graphics, its more than enough more my needs and 90% of notebook users.

That is very true. I know the IBM based systems were rock solid. Not sure about the purely Lenovo's. They also really know their target sector. They know that the vast majority of the people looking at their systems don't need anything more than a midrange card. Why waste time developing and advertising a product that only a few people would consider?

Yeah, the Quadro 3700 with 1 GB dedicated memory notwithstanding (drool drool drool), the best card Lenovo offers on any system is the AMD HD 3650.
