I like the Lenovo thinkpads best.
Look at their outlet store where you can find some bargains.
I look for minimal hard drive and ram specs, intending to replace the hard drive with a ssd and adding ram myself.
It is usually much cheaper that way.
The biggest performance boost for ANY laptop is a ssd .
Can't say. It depends entirely of the specs, not the brand.
I fogot to mention that I'm looking for a laptop. Currently I'm thinking about Dell Inspiron 17 (5748), Asus K551LN and Toshiba Satellite L50-A-19N. Now I'm working with Dell Inspiron M5010 and It's going to die soon.
