For the other brands you are saying they are roughly the same, and you get what you pay for? So going higher end on any of them should be equivalent?

I love my Thinkpad, but I need something that will take a beating.
I tend to recommend the Toshiba or Asus to clients for general usage. Just about every single week a retailer will have one or the other in the $350 range. IMO, you can't beat them for the money. They aren't a Mercedes, but in most cases, a Hyundai will do. Most of them will have an Intel i3 or i5 or AMD equivalent CPU with plenty of ram and basic video. I've never seen a Dell that will beat them out of the box, unless you spend hundreds more to get a primo video card for gaming.
I wouldn't touch HP Laptops myself. Overpriced garbage that break too easily.
