If reliability (and long lasting) is an important factor, cost aside - would you choose an Acer, Dell or HP?
In terms of after sales support, I've found HP to be the least responsive/responsible and to top it off their prices of spare parts are way high too.
Please help.

Apparently, the top 2 contenders in terms of sales is with Dell leading while HP follows. There are obvious reasons why Dell remains in top spot - great value, reachable service/support and good performance. My old Dells are still in working order - desktops and notebooks - so I'm pretty much a diehard Dell fan.
BYOers (Build Your Own) focus on performance rather than brand and build their own notebooks/desktops - choosing the specs they want and can afford to have. The only downside is if anything should fail - and it will - there is no extended warranty to cover the cost of repairs/replacement! So if you want to be a BYOer, do proceed after due consideration that after sales service is negligible.
So before you decide, THINK in terms of:
1. Performance - quickly does the things you are buying it for;
2. Reliability - most unlikely to fail and require servicing/repairs;
3. Reliability - accessible service & support as some brands turn a deaf ear;
4. Price - within your budget and reasonable (never pay for a brand's advertising!); and
5. Brand - if you still insist after Points 1-4 mentioned above makes it worthy of consideration.
Last but not least - Compare, Compare, Compare!
Happy shopping!
