    And I’ve had two HP laptops work for over 5yrs+ without problem. The only laptop that died in less than a year was a Toshiba.

      My company only buys HP laptops, so I’ve had quite a few. Each one has lasted me longer than the company mandated refresh cycle of 3 years. My last two HP laptops lasted 4 years before I was forced to get new machines. I’m not saying HP is perfect, but anecdotes are only anecdotes.

      Only had one Toshiba, and it was put together poorly. Thermal paste was improperly applied and it would simply shut down within 30 minutes. It’s hard to find a faultless brand, but cheap hp laptops are rarely worth the money.
