Can anyone recommend a reliable laptop with twin hard drives and a DX11 gpu ?

I bought an ASUS G75 (perfect spec for me) but it arrived in a terrible state - had to send it back.

I want Apple quality but with good spec.

They're very reasonably priced and very high quality. My wife recently got this model and LOVES it -

What he said. Excellent quality, very powerful, especially for the price.

I've just ordered from http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk who sell Clevo laptops - I can't give any opinion on the reliability or state it arrives in until it comes, but you could still browse the forums they have there and see what they are saying (though I think it's hard to judge companies such as ASUS versus Apple on single anecdotes - e.g., on the flip side I know plenty of people with the lower spec Asus notebooks that work fine for them, and I've seen Apple notebooks crash. YMMV).

Try an Alien Ware they have some nice specs too.

They have nice specs, they are just really expensive

I have a Sager notebook. It's fast, reliable, easily serviceable, etc. But it's very bulky.

I work for a company where pretty much all emplyees rely on their laptops to earn a living, and we all travel quite a bit. Most are software developers and require high-spec machines. When I attend a corporate function, I look around, and what I see a lot of is Lenovos and Apples. Thos brands are chosen because they're powerful and robust, come with extended manufacturer's warrantees, and are basically the best vaue for the money spent.

I do see some other brands, especially Dells and Acers, but not a lot. I suspect they just don't put up with the physical rigours of constant use.

I have a lenovo and it's pretty solid. The one thing I'd mention is that they are very much designed for professionals and don't necessarily have the style that some other computers have, but the trade off is that while they might not look the flashiest they're incredibly practical. Mine, for example, has a removable DvD drive that can be replaced with an extra battery in under 10 seconds for an extra 4-8 hours of battery life.

I will say that Sony Vaio laptops seem really nice on paper. My mom has one of those, and I couldn't really find fault with it when I was helping her pick it out/playing with it, but I don't have any extended experience with it.
