Part One of your question. Fujitsu Siemens computers were made in Germany. However beginning in 2009 Siemens quit the partnership. Fujitsu is now on its own which is not so terrible. Pat Two. Whatever you do, stay away from DELL computers!! I got a DELL Vostro 1510 and my battery exhausted after 4 weeks; in the beginning the battery lasted for 3 hours, now it gives me 40 "good" minutes of portability.

IBM / Lenovo is one of the best brands out there. You pay with the extra price.

Dell would be my choice. I have a Dell Vostro that is over a year old with no problems. Another good choice would be an HP. IBM no longer makes laptops. They have been out of the PC business for about 5 years.

To be honest, most computers use the same parts and there is not much difference between the various laptop manufacturers. The real key is price, features and customer service. I have owned IBM, Dell, Compaq, and Toshiba laptops. I have rarely had to use service, but the Compaq service was a little lacking when I had a problem with my battery. There actually was nothing wrong with my battery other than the power profile I was using, but Compaq didn't have the replacement battery in stock. They did refer me to an OEM that had the battery for a lower price, so there's something to be said for that. IBM service used to be great, but I haven't used them since they split off Lenovo. All the laptops worked fine but I thought the Toshiba offered the best price performance ratio. Sony VAIOs are nice, but you'll pay extra for them, as you will for Fujitsu. Anyway, if you find the right mix of weight, battery life and features to meet your needs, you'll be happy with any of them. Don't sweat it so much.
