which brand of laptop have the most reasonable price and quality ???

My company issues Acer laptops to employees and it is the brand that I will recommend to you. I recently posted a review about it and I don't want to rewrite it here. You can find it in http://www.ciao.com/Acer_Aspire_4720_4538__Review_10032770 Hope it helps.

Well the laptop brands you mention above is also reliable but you must have a budget range when buying laptop and then look for laptops that includes in your budget and deciding varies it system specs. You must choose laptop that has a higher specs in your range of budget. I recommend dell, ibm lennovo ,Hp, hp compaq, toshiba, fujitsu, asus and acer.

I think that Toshiba has pretty nice quality and I think some one the other day told me that compaqs aren't bad. I've found that acer isn't that great. But it's all opinion really. I can't help you on pricing your best to just go and look around for decent prices.

When it comes to price, hardware specification and quality maybe you should take a look about Lenovo laptop lines especially the Y series. I have this Y410 which really serving me well for 5 months already and my money is really worth it. Although 5 months is not that long so far my laptop is good as new.

The first laptop I bought was a Toshiba, it lasted for 4 years...well untill i spilled a glass of milk in the keyboard:( ,Now I'v had a have a Dell inspiron for about 6 months and it hasn't let me down yet:) ..,hope this helps a little

My choice for budget and reliable laptop would be Lenovo. Their PC is a totally different story.
