I using a 6 year old Asus at the moment our other Asus died at 7 years old, but they are not cheap as we tend to get the biggest 17" screen we can. At this time I would not change from this brand. Internally they all have much the same components.
All I will say is get one with a SSD drive the bigger the better, the speed difference is amazing compared to a standard spinning drive but as always backup and backup your backup. So many people say they have nothing to loose until they do loose it all.
