Recently my less than a year old $550 ACER randomly shut off and has not turned on at all, let's just say I am pretty pissed at ACER as of now. So I am still deciding if I should repair the old one or get a new laptop. Since I don't want to have another computer fizzle out in less than a year I want something durable. So I'm between buying a Dell laptop or an ASUS one, don't know if I want to spend a ridiculous amount of money (again) on the new one or buy a low end one. Point is which of these two brands is more durable? Are there others that in your experience are better?
