I've been thoroughly soured on HP laptops, too.

I'd say stick with one of:
* Dell Precision
* Dell Latitude
* Lenovo X-series
* Lenovo T-series
* Lenovo W-series
* Apple MacBook Pro

Based on laptop prices right now, I would also strongly consider either leasing it (match the warranty and lease durations!) or buying refurbished.

YMMV.

I've always been partial to the Thinkpad series. They have some nice
models that have those kind of specs.

Only thing I can say is that I've seen some pretty horrible ASUS and
ACER laptops out there.

 Oh, I know, I know, details.

 Um, ~15" screen, SSD, 16 GB RAM, quad-core? Those would be my main
 requirements. 1080p screen, preferably, and IPS or equiv.

     What am I thinking - opinions? This group?
