My school is an all-Dell facility, and the computer labs average a hardware failure per 25-computer lab every two weeks (usually the power supply, apparently caused by bad capacitors on the motherboard). Honestly, I'd rather have a disease than a Dell. For that matter, I'd say the same of any consumer-grade notebook, plasticky and infested with annoyance-ware as they are.
If I were buying a straight-laptop right now, I'd probably look first at a Lenovo Thinkpad, followed by something from HP's corporate line. Personally, though, I'm rather thrilled with my Fujitsu T2010, though odds are it's probably not what you're looking for.
