a brand that is actually reliable like Lenovo.

OMG I can't let this go. I use a lenovo because it is the standard of one of the companies I work with. Here are the issues I have had in the last 6 mos, for a new computer Nov 06 (T43):

- the plug in the back came loose, no way to charge the laptop without this plug, needed replace
- keyboard FLOATING BAD KEYS problem, this is where some keys like "r" don't respond to typing unless you hit really hard, apparently a board attached to keyboard has a tendency to warp and causes this known problem- there is NO FIX for this
- sometimes unable to turn off. You press the off and it powers down but doesn't go completely off. In order to actually turn off you need to unplug and remove the battery- a known problem with many Lenovo models
- wireless dropping every hour, some hardware problem since other brand PCs not doing this in same building
- hard drive spinning making whining noise probably going bad
- dead pixels all over the display
- mouse pad near keyboard is going bad - when you place your palm on the keyboard to the right of the pad, the laptop thinks you are pressing on the mousepad and moves the mouse - obviously the sensory spans the entire lower portion of the unit

thats all I can think of at this moment but this system overall has been a POS since I got it and when I call my company's IT phone the techs immediately say "yeah lenovo is not reliable, thinkpad was ok when it was IBM but these are sh!t" which makes sense because all laptops are produced at the same CMs.

I can assure you apple is not worse quality than anybody else, they are all pretty bad and thats why Apple's customer satisfaction ratings are high
