They make decent laptops. I had Elitebooks, ZBooks and an Omen, excellent machines. I liked them more than Dell or lenovo.
About 90% of laptops I've seen fail are made by HP. Specifically, it's their cooling solution that always seems to fail, even after replacing the thermal paste.
They might be great laptops for maybe about 3 years, until they're not.
A friend of mine won the top of the line omen model in a gaming tournament. We went through three of them before we just accepted the thing doesn't fucking work for shit and demoted it to a Super Gengear 64 Station boy advance and stuffed it under the TV.
