"Quality and being 100% ML compatible" are pretty high demands. The most known brands have their problems and issues, but if you always handle a laptop with care, the most will remain good.
I don't know about 100% ML compatability, but about quality of the known brands:
I recall a Dutch magazine did a test with 7 different brands of laptops and this was not just a laboratory test, they took 'em into the heat of the Saharah, the cold of the Artic and the wets of the jungle.
The purpose was eventually to get them really broken and most of pack couldn't handle the heat, two couldn't handle the extreme cold, just one unknown japanese brand survived the test.
And the test-team expected to make it the honorable award-winner by smashing it with a sledgehammer.
Though the TFT screen and the keyboard both were totally carnage, when an external monitor and keyboard were connected, the laptop was still performing like nothing happened :P
The moral of the story:Quality is not hidden in the name of the beast.

I have a friend that is shopping for a new laptop. Quality and being 100 ML compatible are both very important. as is wireless networking.
Can anyone here make some suggestions as to a brand or model number.
Thanks Marc
