I’ve had Asus and Acer; not impressed.
I’ve had good luck with HP laptop and Dell desktop, so leaning to those brands.
What is the current reputable laptop maker?
Thanks.

Also leaning to stay w PC. Do you fold it up and take it places, or just leave it stationary at home? I trashed my old laptop in lieu of an HP All in One. Love it. Saves space, more powerful than a laptop for what it is/does. It also lasts longer due to it cools itself better than a laptop. (Laptops cooling/fan system are responsible for lots of laptop failures.) https://www.amazon.com/HP-20-7-inch...el+pentium&qid=1606607555&sr=8-3

HP is all we have had. Three years is the outer limit.

I like Lenovo for laptops.
T series are pretty solid. Even the older ones.

Definitely a MacBook Pro. PCs suck ass compared to Macs.

I used to get Dell, but haven't had much luck with the last couple. I've since gone to Lenovo and been happy. Just get one with a solid state hard drive for durability.
Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.

Mac Book Pro for interweb stuff and photo processing. The one I'm typing on now is a 2013.
We use laptops mainly for gaming I have an MSI 2019 and wife has an alienware...I'd get Lenovo if I were replacing now.
Unless you're a BLM protester just taking stuff, now seems like a good time to buy with some black friday discount'n.

Have used Acer and Asus in the past, both low end and both performed great for many years. Currently I have a fairly old bottom end Toshiba and it’s worked like the others but time to replace it.
Have looked at Mac but damn they are expensive.
In my case my money is in my desktop that I built and laptops are for surfing so a 400.00 model typically does what I need.

We used Lenovo almost exclusively at work, a few of the install guys had Macs but nearly all used something like boot camp with Win10 as well. The T series boxes worked great. Good batteries and good hinges.
I'm using one of the old T-540's now, maxed out memory and SSD. Dual boot Win10 and Ubuntu. The Linux install will still get about 3 hrs run time on a 5yr old battery.

Not sure if they are rock solid built as when IBM produced the ThinkPad but the Lenovo version seem solid. Years ago we had a user forgot her IBM ThinkPad laptop was on the roof of her car and drove away with it on her roof, when the wind finally caught it the unit flew off and it did cartwheels down the road. Smashed every surface and corner on the unit BUT fired up fine and the screen was usable!
We have 7000+ users using ThinkPads with very few complaints. In 40+ years working in I.T. I supported many brands of PC's plus MAC's I think the ThinkPad's are a good investment.
