What brand of Windows (PC) laptop would you recommend?

As some may know, I am a Mac user and I currently use a MacBook Pro, but someday (I have no real plans for this; this is purely any time in the future) I would like to get a Windows laptop.

The only brand I have experience with is Dell and I don’t really know anything about the others. All I know is that my Dell laptop crapped out completely after 2 years and the hard drive had to be replaced. Which brand(s) do you have experience with and which one would you recommend?

For the purposes of this question, I’m ignoring price. I’m going purely based on the facts and features of the laptops. I’m not looking for any special features (though that would be a nice bonus) other than it would have to have a webcam and a CD drive.
