Notebooks depend on your luck, really.

The most problem we (my current company) have is Dell mainly power brick go bust (almost 1 yr, both same model at relatively at the same time), battery dead (on few older models), harddisk dead, and recently my Dell notebook too hot 'til the network port die. Quoted a mobo replacement for RM1.8k (yeah, 1yr warranty just passed) from Dell, and we just lived with USB wireless dongle.

We also had a NEC notebook with its indicator panel melts in twice!

The oldest running notebook we now have are IBM. While newer one we are testing Acer, so far no complaint.



No such PC. CPUs from USA company. Motherboards from Taiwan which is also USA allies. Harddisk and RAM either Taiwan, USA or Japan which is all also USA friends.
