Everybody has different opinions on the question "What is a good laptop?" You see, some people want to buy laptop for gaming (which I don't recommend), some people want to buy a laptop for office work while some just buy one to watch youtube etc.

Quote:good Operating system

Again, depends on what you do. Microsoft Windows is of course the most popular operating system, suitable for home and office use. Some people prefer Mac, while some just like linux. Here is what I will say about each popular operating system:

1. Microsoft Windows:
Pros: Compatible with almost every application and driver. A lot of applications only run on Windows, but as a matter of fact more and more applications are now available on most platforms. Even though certain programs do not run well on Windows 10, it is certain that bugs will be fixed ASAP because of its massive amount of users.
Cons: Viruses. Very often targeted. But frankly as long as you are careful and have an antivirus you will be safe.
2. Linux Distros:
Pros: Free. Yes there is no such thing as pirated Linux because it is open source, which also means you can download, install and even modify it at no cost. You are not likely to get a virus as frequent as you will on Microsoft Windows. Also, there are certain applications that will only run on linux, for example, penetrating tools like Backtrack (Now kali). Has a terminal which works like commandline in Windows but with more function. You can basically do everything in Linux with just the terminal.
Cons: A lot of applications are incompatible although you can use Wine to run some Windows applications.
3. Mac:
Pros: Almost no viruses. And some people obviously like Mac's interface more than Windows'. But it is just a personal preference
Cons: Costly. It only runs on Apple hardware which means that you won't see Mac running on Hp or Dell. Faces some compatibility issues too.

Quote:all features

What do you mean by all features? Some laptop manufacturers install a lot of so called features which I would consider bloatware and uninstall them. By default however, most laptops will automatically come with:
Commonly used software:
1. A video and music player
2. Word Editor
3. Internet Browser
4. File Explorer
Anyway you don't need to worry much about software, you can always download them if needed.
And I believe that most laptops today will come with Wi-fi capability, USB ports, built-in speakers, built-in microphones and Bluetooth feature. Below are somethings you should really consider before choosing a laptop:

1. The resolution and size of the screen
2. Touch screen or no touch screen
3. CPU, GPU, RAM, Operating system
4. The weight of the laptop (easy to carry but for some it just doesn't matter)
5. The bloatware that comes with it
6. CD-ROM/DVD-ROM (Some smaller laptops do not have them)
... and many others

Quote:durability

Good question. If you really want to go with durability, go with Apple. They seldom breakdown (unless you throw them out of a window). But hey, that comes with a price. I would say that other laptop brands don't really differ much as long as you buy from a reputable seller. But if you really want to ask the most durable brand, I would give the durability rank below:
1. Apple
2. Asus
3. Toshiba
4. Lenovo
The most important thing is that you need to take good care of your laptop. Don't use it on your lap, don't browse untrusted websites and download risky files, don't overheat it, use a good antivirus, the list goes on.

What I have typed is just a tip of the iceberg. Really, there are just too much things to consider. So after deciding on the OS, screen resolution, processor, features, etc, you can just google and see which laptop suits you best.

My answer: I just can't give a random laptop without knowing what you want exactly.

Hope this helps.

Apple and Lenovo.

Years ago, I ran through on average, 3 computers per year.

I'm not sure of the very first computer I had, I think it was an IBM or some such as that.
I do wish I could remember it. Kind of funny because I did not understand that it cost
money to connect to the internet. At that time, the only way to connect was thru dial
up. I about fainted when I got my phone bill.

The main computer I recall the name of was through RadioShack. Well, I said I remembered
the name but now I forgot. It's whatever RadioShack brand is. It was a horrible computer.

That was all in the 90's.

I have a Gateway laptop that I ordered directly from Gateway and I kept it in my vehicle
most all the time. I still have it. It keeps a charge for approximately 30 minutes.
I recall buying it about ten or more years ago. The thing about it however is, it works
just fine!

I have had many Dell's and I must beg to disagree. I spent over $2,000 for what was
suppose to be great Dell desktop computer.....about ten years ago and the thing only
lasted a year.

I do have a new dell laptop but I rarely use it. In fact, I have two, one is much smaller
than the other but both are new even tho I bought them a couple of years ago. I don't
use them much because I don't really like them. I also have a Dell Venue tablet that is
ok but same goes, I rarely use it.

Lenovo, I love their laptops and tablets. For the price and what you get, I have been
more than satisfied with them. I like their products better than Dell.

I would have to highly suggest Apple. They may be more expensive but in the long
run, they are less in price because they tend to last a very long time and have fewer
if any serious issues at all.

madeture has a good summary, but I wouldn't rank Apple, you can't really repair an Apple.

I'd also place Toshiba above Asus. Toshiba tend to break quicker than Asus, but it's the fan that goes (and then overheating breaks other things). If you can fix the fan, which is easy, well, Toshiba hardware lives longer than Toshiba drivers. All my Toshibas, some twenty years old, still work - I updated them because ATI dropped FGLRX support for them. (They'd probably still work on Windows, but on Linux there are some complicated dependencies for proprietary drivers and you kinda need the latest version if you update other things).

I like Acer laptops they never disapointed me, i have never owned anything else than Acer
the one i am using is still alive after 6-7 years, i ordered another one and when i will receive it, one of the first thing i will do is install a linux based distro
