What laptops do Amigan's use in general?

I just bought a new i3 Lenovo Thinkpad with all the goodies. I used a Thinkpad 600 for 8 years till the poor little guy just couldn't run XP w/SP3 any longer. Then used a Thinkpad T42 maxed out ram for 5 years - great machine (both machines still run). I will sell new Thinkpads but i WILL NOT sell Idea Pads.
 
Now, what NOT to buy...  I repair and sell laptops everyday.
I will NEVER sell any HP product in my store and 90% of the time when peeps bring them in (we're talking anything DVx(xxx) and the F series and the CQ - GQ series) it's motherboard failure. Here's why...  HP went "green" 8 years ago and they don't use lead in their solder. All the solder joints are like pot metal and crack. One day they might turn on and the next not. I hate HP! I lose customers and revenue because of them! NX and NC were a fairly decent machine though.
 
Nor will I sell ANY Acer, or any Toshiba. Any Toshiba newer than 2 years old is a peice of sh*t! Period. I see screens going out all the time and the DC jack will simply fall into the case due to the body being practically made of paper.
 
Good laptops: Sony, Asus, Dell (but NOT Inspiron), MSI (but they have nearly priced themselves out of the market), and believe it or not Gateway makes a fairly decent machine (some models are crap - some are great - I have sold hundreds of Gateways). Now I know there's exceptions and preferences but seriously - HP is THE Worst (not to mention their business practices).
