Scratch Acer off that list, it has terrible QC, but Lenovo and Asus are fine.
What makes them more reliable is better build quality, better cooling (though these are laptops so don't expect anything amazing without a bottom cooler if that interests you) and just overall better hardware, though that isn't to say that a modern Dell with a 7970m will beat a 3 year old Asus with integrated graphics. Also, Asus (not 100% sure about Lenovo) has better customer service than HP and, more specifically, Dell. HP has terrible cooling in particular, just to throw that out there.

I think QC means quality, and price is not what you need to look at, that is but a small point of interest, just because it's cheaper doesn't mean it's a better choice, the most important factor when buying pretty much anything you're putting a lot of money it to is QUALITY.
Quality really matters when it comes to the core hardware of a PC.
Edit: What I mean buy price not being very important, is that look at all brands in your price range and then take a look at in depth reviews and complaints on what you're looking at, sometimes you may find spending just a little more can amount to a much better piece of hardware.

No.

You just need to really research the product.

Eh...it's in the middle of the pack.
It's only ten days old!
