What's everyone's take on Asus laptops?

I still stand by my original picks. My ThinkPad has been through all 7 circles of hell with me out in the field and STILL works like a champ. My Acer that I use for communications and light gaming still churns along happily for me and with plenty of zip. Before i left my last job we'd just spent (as a department) a bit over $100,000 to replace a fleet of Dells that kept breaking down and had gotten too difficult and costly to keep up. Unfortuantely they were replaced by more Dells that would often overheat. My wife's HP laptop hasn't melted again but it sure feels like it's getting close after being used for a few minutes.

I bought it in august and it has a t2500, 2 gigs of ram and a x1600 ati card. it may not seem like much but when you consider the 14.1 inch screen, its an unreal notebook.

Like:
Sony - Look good, reliable, and I trust them after my years of PlayStation gaming.
Dell - Good name, you pay more but you pay for what you get.
Toshiba - Always liked them, helpful service and long lasting hardware.

Middle:
Panasonic
Compaq

Dislike:
Apple - Don't like mac and far too expensive.
HP - Unreliable and bad previous experiences.
Acer - Slow and not brilliant build quality.
Fujitsu Siemens - Poor support and low build quality.
