Lenovo Thinkpads are quite strong and hard to damage.

 

The Thinkpad X or T lineups are pretty damn strong and it takes a lot to beat them up lol.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

Compaq, Fujitsu, Lenovo, HP

HP is actually pretty legit except sometimes they deliver underspecced products.

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Apple, Dell, or Lenovo. 

 

From my experience Acer/HP/Samsung/Razer make cheap crap and Asus' customer support is awful. There is also MSI, Gigabyte, Digital Storm, and Alienware, but I don't have much experience with any of them.

Not for my needs, I'd like to see, someday, the option to purchase an X brand laptop without any hard drive installed... that will never happen unless you go for some resellers like Xotic pc, funny thing is they "charge" for removing the default drive and placing the one you want.

I have a Lenovo Ideapad 500 with the I7 and an AMD Radeon R7 M360 with 1 GB of VRAM and 8 GB of RAM the only draw back is the hard drive it is a 5400RPM drive and it needs an upgrade badly and there build quality is OK. In the almost one year of ownership of this laptop there was a piece of hair in one of the Intel® RealSense™ Technology cams and the trackpad moves by itself sometimes and from plugging and unplugging the Ethernet cable the cover that goes down broke in two and right now I just found out if you type fast the keyboard ignores our key presses. Other than that it is the best laptop I have ever owned and I bought it for under 1000$!!!!!

Lenovo's trackpads are shit. 

 

Also, ideapads aren't even all that representative of Lenovo, their Thinkpad's are miles ahead (but the trackpads are still shit).
