poor service/support from HP

[DRIFT_BUGGY]

Damn, that sucks dude. I haven't owned HP gear but at work we run them and have all sorts of dramas (dell aswell)

Dells have been solid for me except a 8400 desktop which Dell designed to just run too hot. I use 3 desktops and 2 laptops for my business and the prob is support.

Nobody's support is worth the time or the trouble, especially what I call Dell India. Once they have your money, they really could care less!

Good advice to look at the business side of anybody's lineup. I'm due to replace a laptop this year and are looking at those.
