We have 2 HP’s here at the business and they are both steaming piles of crap. One went back 3 times for hardware failures in 18 months. Slow as balls, unreliable crap. Some swear by them, i swear AT them. > We have Vaios now and except for one HD failure, they have been golden. However, if i was buying one for myself, i would lean towards that Dell that bics posted the link to. I only recommend hp and sony because their support is better than the rest. Every company makes a shitty product every now and then but how that company takes care of you is what I look for. Dell used to be the best in tearms of warranty and service support but they have dropped off lately. I hear a ton of horror stories about the lower end brands like acer, toshiba, etc… Any of the laptops will work for the op and bics needs but if there is a problem with one of them, i would feel bad recommending a cheaper model just to save a few dollars. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/shopping-for-a-laptop/203075)._
