Hope this doesn't start up the apple fans telling us that the figures are wrong!

I'm glad I got an Eee instead of a Wind/whatever :D

831421 2009-11-19 01:35:00 They have lumped HP and Compaq in together, that is no good at all. Compaq gets too good of a mark, and HP far too bad. wratterus (105)
831422 2009-11-19 02:16:00 Swish, It backs up what we have been saying for years.

Buy Asus or Toshiba.

The extra you pay for Apple products gets you nothing but broker.

HP aren't worth buying.

HP is MUCH better than some of the brands there, especially Acer.

I never used Gateway but the only Dell Laptop I have ever used was crap.

So, Your saying their findings are wrong?

What do you base this on?

831426 2009-11-19 04:36:00 HP consumer range of laptops (Pavilions/Presarios) are crap and we get them in all the time that have dead boards and stuff.
HP Business laptops are a different story, we have sold a ton of these over the years and only had one or two come back with hardware faults.

HP and Compaq are the same brand......and share the same issues.
