far better than the now defunct AST factory I also saw.
My 2nd laptop was an AST and I loved that little 486. It was tiny (Apple Powerbook 12" G4 size) and had a trackball for cursor movements. No CD Rom and a Passive Matrix screen. But it never let me down and I only got rid of it about 3 years ago !
I guess it's all down to your last experience of any make, I've had bad ones with Dell and others, but my Compaq 1015v is fantastic (and cheap).
Also remember that the base machines are built all over the pace (regardless of the badge on the front) The name brand manufacturers jump between carcass manufactures all the time so quality varies between different models of the same make.
