Hi all, my sister is using Dell Vostro for 2 years until now KO.
Why KO? Power button problem. My sister need to use for university assignment. Just bought new Asus laptop.

I'm using Lenovo Z50-70 and the laptop is just 1 year plus then already become very slow (Lag too much).

My brother is using Toshiba.
Repair for the 1st time for USB port stuck in. ( Accidentally drop the laptop on the table with Mouse receiver plugged in)
Repair for the 2nd time for Overheating
Repair for the 3rd time for Missing screw.
After all repaired case, they ask to pay even still on warranty. ( Wanna change keyboard ).

At last now the keyboard some of the keys are not working. Have to press hard to get the letter or numbers.

My best options are Asus and HP.

Asus is cheap but quality is Good.

HP is expensive is the best.

OK. Asus is good. No complaints so far. Not even 1 time still OK. No repairing or malfunction.

You got it so wrong bro. My first laptop dell inspirion 5000 last me more than 5 years and I have seen those of my friends staying in the same hostel using ACER, ASUS or HP sending their sets for repair throughout the period. I'm using dell xps 15 9550 since it first launched in Malaysia last year and the built quality is fantastic, theres some drivers issues at first but dell sorted it out.

you should change to SSD or defrag your HDD often. If not surely will lag

did you try to send that Dell laptop for RMA? try to check if the warranty if it's still available

dell has legendary warranty here and i experienced it myself a few months ago. called dell for RMA of my monitor. next day they came to replace with a refurbished monitor (monitor has been discontinued, so no choice)

else, just send to shop to fix it then. shouldn't be much of a problem i think

and if your laptop is getting slower, there's TONS of possible causes. maybe your laptop has accumulated dust, so the fans don't push out hot air as good which leads to getting your laptop heat up and causing thermal throttling.
or maybe your HDD is not healthy anymore and needs to be replaced
or maybe there's some program in the background interfering with your other programs

i could go on and on about the possible problems.

but from what i see, this is like a bashing thread. you're not even providing enough details on your problems.

if you want something to just work, then buy apple then

LOL...

Man, it seem like you are trying to promote other brands. First you promote Panasonic in aircond thread. Then you condemn Samsung in Android forum. Now this... get a life.

well safe or not safe that depends on the user really. but reliability should be ok i think. at least if their mobile devices are of any indication
