 There are HP consumer models and HP business models. Not built to the same standard, it seems.

Everyone at work has an HP business class model,. Mine is at least 5 years old now and has never had an issue. I don't think anyone else has had problems with theirs, except maybe they last so long that they are useless with modern OS and software because they are too slow.

That is usually the problem. You better avoid the consumer crap computers because they are a waste of money.

Even the enterprise HPs are far from immune to problems. In fact, at several companies I worked at in the past, it was fairly common for HP laptops to break down. (Even I was surprised at the pile of broken HPs in the IT office, waiting to be returned under warranty...) As opposed to Dell and Lenovo that almost never seem to break.

The worst, however, was Futurequest. The workstations all had a wiring error that would always cause them to break down in 2-3 years. My dad (who was the IT manager at that company at the time) actually asked me to come along to try to find a fix and that's how I found out about the issue. In the end, every Futurequest was replaced with Dell.

Another good story was when my friend Allie Moore had her HP laptop break down (the PSU, actually) and I managed to fix it by replacing the caps. Impressed as she was, my date with her right afterwards didn't get anywhere...
