I guess you think the iPhone is of inferior quality because it is made in China too, right?
If you'd like, I can send you a 50 page graduate school case study on Dell and its "revolutionary" Just in Time assembly process that I wrote .....
And I don't think the iPhone is inferior because it is made in China, I think the iPhone is inferior because as a phone, it sucks. Our IT dept made the remark about Lenovo in comparison to Dell based on the overwhelmingly negative response from employees assigned the machines.
I guess you get what you pay for and Lenovo made some cheap pitch to our IT buyer and now we're stuck.
But please, tell me more about globalized manufacturing and outsourcing.....

Literally just bought this one last night from New Egg. Nothing spectacular but not low end either.
I currently have an older slow HP laptop with Windows Vista. Makes it tough to go home to that when at work I'm on a 64 bit Windows 7 desktop with dual widescreen monitors.

How much money you want to spend and do you do gaming on it? If none, only what you listed in the OP, get a cheap bastard.

LOL, I have had a Dell for years and haven't had a lick of trouble. So, using your logic, does that prove now that they don't suck?
I also own a Lenovo, an off brand, an Acer netbook, and several desktops. Not to mention the 3-4 I use on a daily basis at work. The only one that really provided problems was an HP desktop, so I guess, again by your logic, that HP sucks.
Dell has pretty good service, if your aren't computer savvy, so their suckiness is lessened by that alone.
Anyway, be sure to let us know which one you get Michlady.
