Depends on what you want to do with the laptop. Gaming, office, video editing, 3d rendering, multipurpose. It would be nice to be more specific and that way we can help you.

Exactly!

A budget and desired form factor (14"? 15?) would also be helpful.

For normal purpose, I would suggest Asus K50AB which has a powerful graphics card - if you ever need to use it

Dell (Canada) gets my vote. Great RMA service as far as I know (they cover shipping costs and ship first!)

I really like Lenovo right now (Ideapad Y series are nice). Also really like the Dell XPS Studios.
