Hi I just wondering whether or not , majority of notebook owner here are happy or not with the performance,build quality,reliabillity,etc of their current brand of notebook, and please state the reason also.
so i want to make a poll of it , so that people can see which brand gives the most user satisfactory product,
sorry about my broken english :P

And because i see that there are users that are not from USA, so i just include those brand thats available worldwide, cause it's very hard to get such as Averatec,ALIENWARE,or etc outdise the USA.

I'll Start here,

Mine is ASUS W1N:
-Pentium M Dothan 1.8G
-HDD Seagate Momentus 100G 5400 r.p.m.
-15'4" WXGA
-2X512 DDR Memory = 1 G DDR Memory
-Ati Radeon 9600 pro With Dedicated 64MB VRAM
-DVD/DVDRW
-Intel Centrino Wi-Fi B/G
-Built in TV Tuner

The Main reason I choose this notebook is because of the design which for me is simply the best notebook in the world, on par with Apple powerbook.

>Build Quality: 9/10 (Only downside is because there is no lock on the hinge, so if u put the notebook in a bag, becarefull not to put any keys or small things together with it , cause it may scratch the screen if the notebook opened accidentally. Other than that the mateial and the fit of the notebook, is fantastic.

>Performance: 8/10 ( My Previous notebook was a 1 G Celeron, so i definetlly feel the improvement here, and i for me it's quite fast , even to play some 3D games like the SIMS 2 occasionally, though i'm not a PC gamer)

>Reliability: 10/10 (never hang on me for even once, and so far so good, i've never have any problem with my beloved W1N.

>Screen: 7/10 (so-so only not as good as my Powerbook, but definetly better than my friend Toshiba M35 and A70. The AsusScreen is a litttle bit to dimm to my liking.

>Others: Batery life lastme for 2 DVD movie, about 3,5 hours, not a problem though, cause i useit mainly at home and connected to AC power.
A ittle bit on the heavy side, so it quite a burden to me if i have to lug it around with me with overseas trip.

>Overall: 9/10 (may not be the fasttest /lightest/ the best notebook out there, but i'll highly recommend it to everyone looking for a notebook that's have quite a performance, and striking minimalist design.The only downside is the price that's quite high compared to other brand with same spec.

Right now I'm leaning towards Acer. They have a 4.5lb 14" widescreen notebook coming out, with a X700, too! I was leaning to a W3V with the X600, but the Acer 3210 is lighter and better!

Not only is it not hard to get an Alienware outside the US, Alienware would be one of the better choices. What were you thinking?

Not to be offensive, but these polls are pretty much useless for helping shoppers.

Elementary psychology will tell you that people will defend their already-made purchases to the point of irrationality. Such a poll and its attached "discussion" would only push newbies toward the more popularly sold systems.

To help consumers, we have to educate them to decide on objective data.

but isn't it more popular =better?
i mean if a brand is nt that good it won't be popular right ?
and if a brand is popular, that's mean it's quite good, am i right ?

Laptops all have their plus and minus categories. Thats just the way it is. Just because some people like a brand more than others does not mean it is better. If you want a really good laptop for all purpose all around things pop on over to pctorque.com and check out their selection. Great notebooks at a good price.
feel free to +rep me luke for the plug...I really meant it though.
