Notebook From Which Brand Would Last Longer (after 1st Year Warranty Is Expired!)…?

I want to buy notebook 15″ or 17 ” for my sisters family, so I wonder which notebook brand could I put my faith in…They are not very PC skilled so they wouldn’t be raping it all the time, maybe Internet, photos from digital camera, Internet, some movies, etc. I don’t want to pay 3 yrs warranty, because some (like Sony, Samsung and Apple are VERY expensive!), and therefore I would like to know for which laptop brand or type could I hope to have a reasonably long life 3-5 years…Friends told me HP, Lenovo and some Dell’s notebooks…Any suggestions? Also, is it true that watching movies on a laptop fries motherboard? Some laptops today, ie. Dell Latitude E6400 have Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500, which can have betwen 1300 and 1800 MB graphic memory, depending on RAM, so shouldn’t they be able play movies without any problems?
Also, which brand is cheapest to repair (you’ll probably say Acer, but I just wanted to make sure!)?
Should I go with Asus (2 year warranty without extra money!)?
Thank you for your attention and answers!

Would This Be A Computer To Play The Sims 3 On?

Hi, if you haven’t heard about the sims 3 yet it is a computer simulation game that is high on graphics. There are no official specs out yet and there may not be for several more months. I need a new computer soon but I want to be fairly sure that it will handle this game. Here are the specs for one that i’m looking at. Can you tell me if everything looks ok? I’m not a big time gamer, i’ll only be playing the sims 3 on it. Also let me know if you think I could deal with a less advanced computer. Thanks so much in advance!
