I have experienced Acer and Fujitsu Siemens laptops. I have the FS my dad has the Acer. Acer travelmate (in his case) is a much better build quality.

www.acernotebooks.co.uk they do 3 years insurance / warranty against anything for £99+vat which is a bargain.

I'd look for something with at least 4 hours battery life as in reality 3 hours is more like 90 - 120 mins when you are using the laptop.
