Ebony the Peacian maui boy no ka oi All mentioned suck a lot including HP. Of all of them though, Samsung has proven to be the most reliable brand along with Toshiba. My HP has served me reliably and beautifully for years, whereas my Toshiba has had problems left and right for the past three. confused (And yes, I take care of both.) Just throwing that out there. Most HPs are alright, but they do have major hardware problems from time to time and the HP dock gets really annoying after a while. Toshibas have served the people I've know to own them pretty well (except one where the wire for a laptop broke but that was due to the owner's mishandling of it). Dells have a lot of driver and hardware problems so i wouldn't go that way either.
@Daypaw: Are you implying that Velocity Micro isn't a well known brand? http://computers.toptenreviews.com/gaming/velocity-micro/velocity-micro-raptor-z90-reviews-22001.htm It's the highest end gaming computer company ATM ranking above even Alienware. Additionally, all their coms are hand-crafted and have a full warranty if anything goes wrong (even if you drop it and you shatter your video card, they'll replace it).

I go to a laptop school. That means that we all carry laptops to school - uniform models and brands. We all have Toshibas, but the computer lab has Macs and our tech support office as well as the lower school labs have HPs.
I worked in tech support this past year. Guess which computers never failed or had any major problems? You guessed it. The HPs. (Come to think of it, the Macs were pretty stable, too.) The Toshibas constantly had issues.
Now, are most of the malfunctions I dealt with the result of mistreatment of compies? I'm willing to bet that that's the case. However, I treat my computers very, very well -- with the utmost care. And though I've treated my Toshiba with the utmost care, I've had some problems in the past with my speakers, connecting to networks, etc. -- problems I've never had with an HP. Never.

Never. http://www.pcmech.com/article/big-problems-with-wireless-in-hp-pavilion-notebooks/ It could have something to do with the model and year it was bought. I know that HP has had hardware issues while Dell has had hardware AND software issues (one didn't have the drivers for a webcam that was built into the com). Also you said that everyone carries a Toshiba and that the most likely cause of the malfunctions is mistreatment. As far as I can see, more n00bs holding on to computers=more computers that will need repair. My friend has a HP laptop, a Toshiba laptop, and a Dell desktop. I have a Dell desktop and a VM desktop. His desktop and my Dell have both had a lot of issues in the past while his HP laptop has a tendency to hang especially during heavy online activity such as gaming. His Toshiba only has one flaw and that's in the charging cord but that has nothing to do with the com. The com itself is about 4 years old and is still working. My VM desktop is 2 years old and has only hung twice due to overheating (98+ degrees room temp). In any case, as far as tech support/comp repair goes, the most common brand to be brought in here is Dell followed by HP followed by Samsung. So I go by that standard. Anyway I stick to my previous statement that VM makes the most reliable and flexible laptops.
