The only laptop I've had any experience with is a Dell, and it's the same laptop most of my friends at college had. The split was about 70/30 between people who never had any trouble and people who had a dell that was a heaping pile of crap. I know mine had 4 parts failures in the first year, which was fine when it was under warranty, the trouble was the failures kept coming. Customer service was also fond of reminding my roommate that he did not purchase a laptop, but a 'portable computer'. The computers were meant to be moved between desks and not really sturdy enough to be used as a laptop - meaning no extra resistance to bumps, drops or spills than a normal computer (food spills are probably the number 1 killer of laptops, with drops coming in a close second).
This is going on 10 years ago, but if I were to buy another laptop, I wouldn't consider dell without getting the 4 year full coverage extended warranty.
I despise Mac in general, but my wife's g4 laptop runs as good as it did the day she bought it and its roughly 7 years old. The battery is shot, but that's to be expected after this length of time.
