I have been buying the lowest priced HP/Acer/ASUS that has the
features I want. I don't know that there is much difference between
them, and I am not sure who the real maker/designed of the laptop is.
See the ODM section on this page; From that it becomes clear you have
zero idea who really made/designed the product and how good of a job
they did. So pick the price and features that you want and ignore
the Brand as the brand seems to matter little anymore.
