Would you buy another HP?

[island_boy]

I buy my laptops based on price pretty much. I had a dv6000 which I liked and sold to someone else, who had problems with the backlight after 6-8 months - I Googled and found others with the same problem, and at the same time I noticed the hinge area had a nickel sized hole in it so I know the laptop was dropped. Not sure if it's a defect or it being dropped, but I'm leaning toward the latter.

Earlier this year I bought a dv4 on clearance and I actually really like it. I hadn't planned on buying another HP but I couldn't turn it down because of its price and now it's one of my favorite laptops.

Next up is a steal of a deal on an ENVY 4t which I'm debating on keeping. It's too new to talk about reliability but it's a nice machine.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, yes, I'd buy another HP if the price was right. A friend of mine had an old Athlon XP HP and naturally that thing died from overheating which was not uncommon back in the day with HP and/or AMD CPUs. Though, I did *just* trade an an HP L2000 with a Turion64 that was still working like a champ.

I dunno, some folks swear by certain brands. I feel like they all have their duds. BUT in this day and age, I expect my laptop to stay fairly cool and get decent battery life. Back in college I had to undervolt my Sony S460 and carry two extra batteries with me to make it through the day!

Nope. Imo HP is rubbish now especially if looking for a gaming computer. Just recently ordered a CLEVO. Wish I knew about these when I purchased my HP :S

The dv6 with the top-end GPU is still a decent gamer, however.

Yup^ It runs skyrim, d3, wow and every other game I have thrown at it so far at ultimate. I'm honestly blown away by how well this thing games. Nvidia ftw.

"Would I buy another hp?" Hell yes, I have bought like 10 in my life and will continue buying them.

I own a Samsung and it's been a top quality machine, I've also owned a i7 hp and the quality of that wasn't the same as my netbook and the screen was just horrendous. I returned it (lucky the place I returned it was very loose with their return policy)

I simply won't buy hp because of their (continuing) track record in support and build quality although the dm1z seems to be a top machine.

My girlfriend owns a Acer and it's also been top notch (crappy keyboard however)

I used to say "I will never buy HP" and then I just dumped 1k on a dv6t as my favorite college laptop. It's amazing what a unbiased mind and superb discounts can change a mindset. It'll be arriving on Monday and I'm pumped to say the least

So you made your decision by dumping a grand on a laptop and haven't even used it yet?

Well, considering how popular the current dv6 is here at NBR (and other places), I'm not too surprised that shorty is happy about his purchase. If he used the 33% discount to get a beefy system, all the more power to him.

This. You can't find a similar priced laptop that offers what the dv6t offers. Mine will come sometime Monday (today) so I'm def looking forward to the unboxing

Where's the 33% discount? Does HP stack discounts?
