That's a problem every brand of notebook suffers from, Even macbooks. Eventually the battery stops taking a charge. The best way to lengthen the battery life is to remove the battery once you plug it into the wall and only put the battery back in when you need to go portable.
As for other types of failures.. laptops are designed with such quality to only last a year. No brand is better than the other aside from maybe macbooks lasting slightly longer due to the fact that the mac os does not put as much strain on the hardware.
If you want a machine to last past a year, buy extended warranties from the retailer or manufacturer. Applecare is perfect and better than retailer warranties. They cover one accidental break. As for Sony, HP, Toshiba, Dell and LG.. buy the retailer's warranties as you typically get no-lemon guaranties.
Check out the LG laptops. They are less likely to cause problems during the 1st year's warranties. They are ridiculously fast with 1gb turbo cache and higher spec processors too. However still get extra coverage for the next year(s)
