Laptops (Hardware wise)
Best: Lenovo and ASUS. Sony is great too but the VAIO line is pretty expensive.

Worst: HP/Compaq, Gateway

Desktops
Custom built. No question!

Take on Apple: (Seems to be a pretty standard thing going on in this thread so I thought I'd include mine)
Although I'm not a fan of Apple products they are doing great things for a certain market of individuals. Some people don't want options or "complexity". They just want to use a computer to do things without having to figure things out for themselves. Quite a few people in my own family are this way. Personally it isn't my thing so I'll never own one and I absolutely despise their locked-in policies but I don't see a reason to bash it just because it isn't my taste. I'm more of a Linux oriented individual and I mostly use Windows for gaming. What I dislike most about Apple is a select group of their fanbase however this can be said about the fanbase of any product/company.
