What type of laptop should I get?

My current laptop is a Dell but its having a ton of issues. I want to know, which laptop should I get? I am kinda leaning towards HP, but I would like to hear all of your feedback and it would be very much appriacated.

Dell Laptop problems
Keyboard doesnt work (use an old desktop keyboard for it)
Screw where the laptop opens and closes broke so it caused some of the covering to break
Some of the side covering is broken
Battery cells are melting down (light on laptop goes from white to flashing orange)

You shouldn't. Build a desktop. Double the power for half the cost.

AVOID NETBOOKS (and by extension ultrabooks) AT ALL COSTS

Never buy anything Alienware. You are paying thousands of dollars more for a logo and some LED's.
