Tough decision, but luckily I think the playing field has evened
somewhat in the past several years. It is kind of hard to go wrong if
you carefully look at the specs, pull up some independent reviews, etc.
This applies to the major brands like Dell, Acer, Asus, HP, Apple (you
only have one vendor in that case of course), Toshiba (but I would not
buy them on principle - decades ago they violated "export" regulations
relating to military tech).
The only "unusual" thing I would say is, if at all possible, physically
touch/test the keyboard of any laptop you are considering. That might be
hard to do in the online ordering nowadays, but at least try to find
reviews that specifically include keyboard evaluations. Keyboards that
have keys popping off are a huge frustration to me. Plus if there is too
much of a mushy feel, or odd feel, it affects my typing speed, etc.
I have a Dell Alien - good performance, but noise that can't be
controlled (I think they may have addressed this issue in later Alien
models), but also heavy.
My daughter got a Predator (Asus I think) - she is pursuing a degree in
graphic animation, etc and it performs great, not a lot of noise, and
quite light in my opinion.
I'm thinking about an Origin laptop for my next one (but still a ways
off to buy) - impressive specs, generally good reviews, lots of
customizing available. But expensive and not sure the brand is tried and
true as the big names.

Been 6 years on my Dell Latitude 5530. Time to get a new one. What are
all you cool kids using nowadays? Do you recommend it?
