I have an Acer Nitro 5, it's motherboard got fri3d the other day. Thankfully it was under warranty. But I wonder is acer laptops generally more unreliable than others?

Basically which laptops are reliable?

Acer are middle of the pack with hp at the bottom, dell and Lenovo are probably the best. Golden rule, never ever ever buy anything made by hp, problems after problems especially their printers.

I prefer Lenovo to be honest but dell are good as well.

I have been repairing computers for 20 years.

Also re: Dell if you don't like the look of RGB gamer laptops, they put the same hardware in their XPS line which is more designed around MacBook looks (aluminum, minimal).

I had an old T60p - yeah, Core 2 Duo baybeeeee. Iirc that was one of the last models that were made under IBM before Lenovo bought the Thinkpad brand. Since then, my primary personal laptop has ALWAYS been a thinkpad, simply because the keyboard IS that good. Seriously, I really do not think that any other laptop line offers a better keyboard, or is so consistently at the top of the pack.

Note: I’m talking specifically about Thinkpads, and particularly the X and T lines. Non-thinkpads are much more of a roll of the dice.
