......look for. It's Asus, of course you would look for them.

Ah, I thought you meant avoid. Personally, I've had good experiences with Lenovo and Dell. I just replaced my mother's 5 year old Dell with a new one and she's loving it.

Thanks for the input guys, narrows down my search a bit. Never heard of Lenovo before, though.
