HP laptops are junk

The only laptops I trust are Vaio, Lenovo, and Toshiba.

Hard drives just die. Mine did the other day in my iMac. I wouldnt worry about it unless it happens again.

edit :: And now we know the importance of having a back-up.

This happened to my last hp desktop. Out of the blue the hard drive fried. Sometimes you just get a lemon. Just make sure you properly vent your computers (desktop or laptop) and the odds of this happening are significantly less (Not that heat WAS the cause, but it is one of many causes that lead to crashes.)

Ah, youre asking this to a girl who has to keep putting her laptop back together.
The plastic part, around the screen, has popped off on the lower left side. Its ripping off the computerI have no explanation for it, possibly how Ive picked it up, but I dont know.
Its a piece of crap to me right now. lol

HP mass produces millions of computers. Invariably a % is going to have a problems. Its sounds like thyre owning up to their defective product.

HP is just plain junk nowadays. My girlfriend has a laptop that we had to service for 4 years. The engineering gone into the hardware of their products is appalling. The hinges for the screen on her laptop were held to the frame using tiny screws.insanely tiny screws. Screws that were not meant to carry shear forces as large as what is applied to them on a daily basis. The heads shear off every 4 months or so.

Ive made a promise to myself not to buy HP computers anymore for this very reason. Nothing is built to withstand use past the warranty expiration anymore. I have a ten year old HP DeskJet printer and its still goin. They mustve just figured out that warranty sales give great revenue.

HDs die all the time. Its their most reliable feature, eventually (with use) they die. Mac drives are known to die faster then PC drives though. Just use this as a lesson to back up regularly or at least email important documents to yourself.
