There was a time that I would have jumped up to agree with achumama about Dell being the number one choice. Not so sure I'd agree with that so much anymore. Since they moved their help centers out of the US, it's been a rough time trying to get decent service.
I've had good luck with Compaq and HP. My sister has had 3 or 4 IBM's, and every last one has had power supply and motherboard failures. Dells are good, as long as you get good service when something breaks. Dell has become notorious for using refurbished components when they're repairing damaged systems.
I've actually heard a lot of good things about the Aspire systems.
Personally, I would opt for a Mac notebook the next time I have to upgrade.

yes i have to admit mac are very very nice looking but they tend to be over priced and the fact that they are apple just puts me off. But with the new dual operating system you can put on and therefor run windows and apple i am very tempted. But sadly i will not by an apple if i have to use only their operating system, Anyways thanks for the advice.

As i'm also gonna buy a laptop this summer. I'm reviewing every site and with the customer feedbacks, i can say that Dell is the best.
My preferred choice is Dell Inspiron e1505
i configured it in their website with the latest features. I costs a bit high but the overall gain is of many folds.
Dell selected models have coupons. By using the coupon code you can reduce 20% or 400$ from the actual price.
By considering all of the above i'm sure that dell is the best laptop makers.

i know dell has some good offers and have some nice hardware with them aswell but they always just seemed very bulcky to me and not very sleek like many other brands , but i guess looks isnt what i should base my final purchase on.
