I'll put another vote in for Samsung, there are two older & one newer kicking around our house & all have performed & lasted very well.
One of the older ones was a work tool that was thrashed 24/7 without a break & was only retired from work as it was getting to the age where HDD failure was likely to raise it's head. In it's abused lifetime it only cost me a keyboard (thanks to my dog, which has strange tastes) & a battery, which is only to be expected.
Never though that I would say it, but my experience with Samsung laptops has been very good.
