Another consideration should be for Asus. I own one of their laptops and it's been good for me. For the money it offered good options. I believe all Asus laptops (excluding their netbooks) include a 2 year warranty on everything but the battery (may include the battery for 6months, I forget) and I think 1 year 'accidental' warranty- spills, drops, power surges, etc..! Most manufacturers only offer 1 year and none of the accidental coverage (or very little). Might be worth looking into if more warranty interests you.
