dont know about the hp. but i've got inspiron 6000. its ok but freeses a lot, starts up slow and takes even longer to shut down. they said thats normal. WTF?

but i bought a four year unconditional warranty on it. so i get parts replaced for free, but the only bad thing is that i have to ship it in.

right now i'm having hardware problems, like my earphone connection is messed up, my power connector is loose. my screen is messing from edges, i mean it looks like strech marks.

they've replaced my touchpad, before and yeah, the first day i got my laptop. it CRASHED completely and they coudn't figure out why so they sent me a new one w/ DVD burner! how sweet was that.

but overall i'd recomend it as long as you get the warranty on it

 

add:

the screen is great. its the ultrasharp ****** something and i love the quality of the screen.

quality wise, (i havent tried any other laptops) Dell isn't perfect

but service wise, A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

my xps m140 has yet to fail me ive had it for a little over a year now almost 2. just ordered another gig or ram for it.

 

apple ftwh:

 

yeah, okay, I was going to pay twice as much for the same thing... I don't think so.

don't care about quality when the full service fixes everything for free.

 

dell.

 

i used a toshiba laptop for the first time a few weeks ago and it pwned. :rockon:

 

^^ My work laptop is a Toshiba Tecra and it is THE WORST FUCKING COMPUTER ON THE PLANET!!!

I have a 4 year old Dell and that thing STILL runs like a champ...the battery still runs like new...I wouldn't give that thing up at all

 

i've had an hp laptop for more than two years and i love it.
