You are thinking about buying a laptop? - Brands recommended for you

Took several years using only laptops and work according / reviewed several a month. I tried first and second hand the best known brands and I have heard from clients and friends experiences they have had. This is the ranking QuasarCR brand laptops worst to best.

 First of all I should clarify that this review is based on common, mobile use, to office work until and heavier work with design programs and gaming.

Sony

In general I have always seen Sony as a company offering laptops with prices above average, oriented multimedia and general use. Is the brand that less recommend for laptop. They can be very good in other electronic, but laptops: step.

    Cons: I have seen several fail with serious problems, especially screen. They are not very resistant.
    Pros: generally bring good configurations.

HP

As Sony have not enjoyed a good image in durability. It is not recommend brands.

    Cons: crapware many factory (which can be removed), usually slow and many models come with factory flaws. Models in the past, as the DV6000 to the point that due to design problems certain components are overheated and broke the video card. A case of those surprised me because in the US they disowned give refunds until the problem became very apparent ... in countries like Costa Rica had to resign despite the country have call center and support staff.
    Pros: good aesthetic details

Samsung

Aca starts to get good stuff. Samsung is that if recommend brands.

    Pros: given that ALL computers of all brands are created within the planned obsolescence Samsung is gaining reputation in my list. They seem durable but need to see them for one or two more years running. They have good aesthetics and good performance. The price is not the best but it's not overdone.
    Cons: I have not found major flaws still

Asus

A brand I recommend mainly for gaming and heavy use.

    Pros: well-armed performance models. Usually the components / models are on the latest and modern, the most powerful. Especially models designed for games.
    Cons: price, although each sees more offer versions that have good settings to more appropriate prices.

Dell

Entered the Top 3. Dell, despite the crisis the company offers sober, adjustable in many cases and fairly stable models.

    Pros: I have rarely seen Dell laptops fail. Well endure extreme mobility (travel, bumps, etc.) and also benefits drivers have good support. The website is relatively easy to navigate to find information.
    Cons: sometimes the price is very high import costs, but if purchased in the US are muho more accessible.

Toshiba

My second choice brand, are stable, rarely fail. Reliable both for personal use and for companies and vviajes

    Pros: stable, reliable, not much more to say.
    Cons: much crapware to uninstall, not many variations in configuration.

Acer

The winning mark of my confidence for over 4 years. And it's weird because it's like 15 years, one of my first jobs was a disastrous Acer brand, bad endings, failure everywhere. Detestable. But obviously something happened in the company (in fact some management changes) and today is one of the companies with more production equipment in the world.

    Pros: resistant. I've taken daily laptops by car, bike and have never failed. The first I had sold it and is still working with small flaws. 7 Year Olds working! the second still I have and am about to sell upgrades and the third is that I am using right now to write these lines. They also have multiple configurations and prices are generally the lowest. Many times the models of the components are not the last, but it helps to have good equipment at a lower cost.

    Cons: I have seen complaints on the Internet in terms of models that fail ... factory. That is, if they fail and come wrong. Generally they not fail, but when they do it is something serious.

Notes: I have not included Lenovo or IBM because they are brands that have not had the pleasure of trying to taste. However if I recommend as an alternative and would at the same level of Dell or Asus, especially for office or looking for something stable.

Nor have I added to Apple because they are less flexible in use, but mainly because it is not a brand that uses much less that you have reviewed. My limited experience with Apple is summarized say that many users love or hate the brand.

I hope you serve these recommendations and do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or queries.
