What laptop???s Brand would you recommend?

Hi
I need to buy a laptop with following specifications

Intel icore 3 or 5
500 GB Hard drive
3 to 4 GB RAM
Webcame
Windows 7 any version

I was thinking I will go for HP, but I see some people have issues with hp laptops, mostly the problem are like recovery partition dose not work or get corrupt soon, some over heating. But one thing which I think how people use their laptops is important. So I need your recommendation.

Regards
