In college had a Dell Desktop...rock solid, still running today 10 years later no problems...Laptop experiences with HP=horrible! First one, had 3 problems, lemon rule applied, gave me a different model, wireless failed, HP support sucks....Bought a Lenovo Thinkpad instead...Best computer ever! Ridiculously solid, you can actually stand on the thing and it can support your freaking weight!
If we're talking about Desktops, you're an idiot not to build one yourself. It's redonkulously easy. If we're talking about Laptops, HP is the better buy 9/10 times, unless you go Dell Business class. And Mr. Clutch, Apple? Seriously. Please, don't waste anyone's time with your remarks again.
