I see far more Acer, HP, Compaq, and Dell Notebook in my shop for servicing than I do Toshiba or Lenovo products. Then again, this might just mean there is a greater volume the other brands in my area in general. I've always been partial to Toshiba Tecras myself. I once dropped one of mine on the concrete floor of an airline terminal, put it back together on the plane and continue to use it.
