About Lauren Bennett
Expertise
I am a computer science major and my dad is an Electric Engineering, so my life has revolved around computers. For as long as I can remember, I have been buying and selling computers. I tend to travel a lot, so I have always had a laptop. I have bought 5 of them for myself, and bought around 30-40 for friends and family. I have dealt with the good and the bad of various version and brand names. If you are in need of buying a laptop, feel free to contact me and I'm sure I will be able to guide you into purchasing the laptop that will be the best fit for you. I will custom build you computers for you to choose from so you can get an exact idea of what to go and buy when you do it yourself and so that you have an exact price. However, I am in the USA and am only knowledgeable about computers here in the US. I do not know about foreign currency or the quality of computer brand names outside the US.

B.S. in Computer Science. Buying and selling for years. Assisting friends/family.

Question
My question is which brand (laptop manufacturer) makes good quality laptops.

hp,toshiba,sony vaio,gateway,and vaio

I compare the hp and dell,and found that dell has lower  price than hp.But is it worth getting a dell or hp in terms of quality  

Answer
In the US:

Dell has the best quality laptops, the best customer service/warranty, and the best value.

HP has the second best in terms of quality but their warranty is not as good (you have to ship it in for repairs, where with Dell, a tech comes to you).

Sony also as the at home service warranty, like Dell, but their laptops are very overpriced.

You will get an excellent computer if you choose Dell and I can help you customize it and try to get it for the best deal.  Just let me know your budget and what you use it for.

I could go really into detail about why I said what I said, but I'd probably bore you.  I wrote a 400 page thesis on the quality of computer manufacturers :) so just trust what I say because I just spent a few years researching this exact topic.

In terms of the rest of the computer brand names out there... none of them are per say bad... just others are a much better value, of a better quality, better known, more popular, and have better warranty services (which is super important with a laptop).

Let me know what you'd like to do from here!
