Now i want to know which of these is the best, i mean, the most durable etc. Also which company makes better laptops?

ASUS is the better choice at the moment........... cuz of it's processor...... and using DDR3 rams with c2d doesn't make any difference.......

 

[devildante99]

But what about build quality? Which company makes more durable products?

Acer and reliability don't go very well together. Generally, they're reputed to come up with low price, low quality products. If I were you I'd choose between the ASUS and IBM, look around the net for user reviews and decide, sometimes there are known faults with specific models too.

Whatever you do. DO NOT get that eMachine. it. SUCKS, Period. My cousin has one, and he barely uses it since it so cheap to the feel ! and the sound quality ? Well, even a China phone can do better .... It doesn't even have any OS installed in it, so you'll just have to buy pirated windows :/
I know it's cheap and all, but there's a reason for that. I'd say go for the IBM.

Well the ASUS one doesn't have any reviews, i found a video on youtube about it, but you cant call it a review.


The IBM one is very popular, it has quite a few review online.

I found all 3 in Transworld traders, its a shop in blue area under media international.


Mega.pk people have higher prices. like the the Asus k40ij is being sold for 46k, where transworld is selling for 43

Asus Is Much Better.........Go for Asus They Always Have Amazing Build Quality

Well the ASUS boasts off 1GB more RAM and a bigger screen too, whereas the Lenovo only has a CPU that is 200MHz faster, so it's a tough call.

If you're the conservative type and like to go with the 'tried and tested' formula then go for the Lenovo since it's been more extensively used. But if you feel ambitious in trying out a new product, then go for the ASUS as it does boast off a bit higher specification....though personally I don't think there's any danger in going for ASUS, pretty much all their products are very reliable and good quality stuff, so I wouldn't expect this to be any different.
