Recommended Manufacturers

For me:

WHATEVER IS GOOD AT THE MOMENT

i can't stress this enough. I see people on forums all the time going "OMG MY AMD KILLS YOUR INTEL, n00b!"

With every generation of components come superior products from various manufacturers and those are the products u should go after.

(an exception is the budget motherboard manufacturers such as soyo, ecs, pcchips etc..)

For laptops, I like Dell. I know a ton of people hate Dell but I have had a couple Dell laptops and my latest one, an Inspiron 6400 dual core Intel, is great and I got it for a great price last year.

For desktops, I prefer Asus for motherboards; AMD or Intel - whatever's newest and best at the time; I like Mushkin for RAM; Plextor for CR/RW or DVD/RW though they're expensive; and Western Digital for hard drives

I highly recommend building your own system, but if you're unwilling to explore the new opportunities of creating your own rig, it'd be good to just get a Dell with a good warranty.
