My experience with Dell - the cheap consumer stuff sucks donkey balls, absolutely. The high end stuff is decent, some of the really high end stuff is very good.
My employer bought me a workstation-replacement laptop from Dell a couple of years ago, that thing is built like a fucking tank. Yeah, it cost four grand.
I own an Inspiron 17R and an XPS 17. Huge difference in build quality (and price). However, I will say that the only reason I even bought them is because I get a substantial discount and zero-interest financing through work. Otherwise, I'd buy something else.
I know two people who own inexpensive Lenovo laptops that like them, for what it's worth.
