I would trust either IBM, Fujitsu or Dell

Ahh.. I believe the king of laptop reliability is Fujitsu. The last time I checked, they had the industry's lowest RMA rate. But they are expensive.

DYKT : My super-old Fujitsu (8 years old?) notebook is still running! My aunt in England's using it now. With the exception of its long-dead battery, it's still running as it did when I first bought it!

Asus seems not bad too

..with their international warranty + if the parts of your laptop is malfunction, they usually replace it with no question asked

i kinda like asus also..the price is pretty good for what u're getting, and it looks appealing too...but i dont know how reliable it is...as in will the hardware fail easily after a few years..

IBM is surprisingly reliable too. I have used a few really old models and they were still running. Of courrse like any other brand, there are lemons.
