I had an HP completely shit the bed on me after 2 years, needed a new mobo to fix and there was no point by then. A bit after the first year it had developed so many bugs that I needed to reformat/reinstall just to keep it running.
I replaced it with a Sony that's been doing fine for 2 years. It's thin, light, good screen, quiet, long battery life. Not exactly the speediest at this point but I'm probably going to throw together a desktop of some sort to complement it. I think it's a pre-recall model though.
