I've got an HP tablet pc. i'm a big supporter of HP and Sony. Great value, innovation, and durability.

I have an HP desktop and other than some spyware issues, it's held up for me. I've had it for 4 years and I can still add more memory if I want to boost performance.

I have an HP Pavilion 512w. I would suggest maybe a Dell. My advice would be to stay away from HP. I've had mine since 2002. It has a tendency to bog down and when you try to open a window, many times you get a not responding message. The only advantage to HP is the ability to do a destructive restore which will restore the computer back to the way it was in the box from the factory.

They're just as good as the other brands. It's all personal preference. Just make sure you get the most current model (if you can afford it). Don't let the sales folk try to sell you something that is priced too good to be true, because it's more than likely that the unit they are trying to sell you will be obsolete within a month or two. They're trying to move the old systems out the door. And you're stuck with an "already" old unit".

I bought a refurb HP a few years back. I used it for a couple years and sold it to my brother. It is still going. No problems. It has to be getting to be around 5 years old or maybe even older and it is still going strong. One bad thing about HP is they put a bunch of unecessary programs(bloatware) on your PC to begin with that takes a while to get rid of. Dell is a lot better as far as bloatware goes.

I have a HP 1430. A lot of people say bad things about hp's but i got mine about 2 years ago this thing has been through 3 moves and sat in an old car i was using for storage through the winter (many 30 below days) this thing still runs as good as it did the day i bought it. Also they are very upgrade friendly,everything isn't all smashed in in weird ways. The only problem Ive had is with getting motherboard drivers. Asus made the board specifically for hp and they don't offer the drivers if you ever have to wipe your computer. But i still have to say that the only way i wouldn't buy an hp again is if i built my own.

I at home have several HP's, Laptops 2, Desktop 2, Server 1. At work they use Dell's At the office I do IT Support they have HP and Gateway. This is my take. HP is by far the best on support online/phone, they have a website you can get drivers and updates for very old models, they give you the most for your money. I mean in parts like more HD space, more RAM, etc... Gateway is ok, but their going concern is at risk from what I heard. Dell, well I will never buy one because they are expensive compare to an HP and their support sucks. They give you less hd and other components. I would only look at their servers because they are cheaper and good compare to others.
