If you are looking to import from the States, remember you might not get a warranty in the UK, and you could get stung for customs duty.
I don't know why people are wary of Dell either. It's been a few years since I worked in laptop repairs but Dells were not only above average in serviceability, we also saw a lot less of them coming in, especially remarkable when you consider they proportionally should be bringing in the most.

The couple times I've seen a Dell laptop fail, we managed to get an engineer out the next day, take the laptop apart, and replace the motherboard at the user's desk.
