Going to buy a laptop for work. Don't need it for gaming or anything, but don't want a slow one.

What's the best brand for something like this? HP, Asus, Acer, Lenovo, Toshiba, Dell? Something I haven't mentioned?

Only want to spend around $400 AUD, so yeah. Thanks lol.

[FSR]Ush:
Just make sure there's a SSD in it, if you want it to work fast! I only ever had an HP laptop, it was fast and reliable untill the mobo burned. I think most laptops these days are good enough, although I'm not a big fan of Acer/Dell, for no specific reason.

How many euro is 1 austrian dollar worth?

Asus with eyes closed

[MAF]Epoxi:
ASUS and Toshiba have the best finish and build quality from my experience.


Any laptop is good enough if you treat it carefully, all the broken laptops I am aware of are because people have mistreated them in some way (but I guess that's what a portable computer is for, carrying around etc.).

I had a Sony VAIO for 6 years now, still gaming on it. Have to agree with Ush about Acer/Dell. Acer has best price-performance ratio, but all people I know who owned one had terrible problems with brokes pieces, overheating after short time and stuff like that. Dell is quite expensive, not sure about build quality though. Only had one friend with a high performance Dell, he was not satisfied with it.

Watch for battery time, modern chromebooks offer up to 13 hours battery life, where as "multimedia" laptops can last below 1 hour.

Go for the SSD, external storage is never a problem to buy.

Also, I have very specific expectations of a keyboard, some laptops are a pure no-go for me just because of a shitty designed keyboard (key size, pressure point, integration into laptop, quality etc).
