Just came back from dropping off my broken HP laptop at the computer store. Apparently they repair man at the computer said the HP laptops are one of the most repaired laptop brands in his store (about 20 each month), next to Toshiba and then Acer. I asked him which laptop he thinks gets the least repaired and he said the Acer Laptops are the least repaired.

I brought this HP laptop as refurbished directly from HP on eBay back in 2007. Once I had it mailed to my house I turned it on and in about 10 minutes I smell something burning and then the computer shut itself off. Luckily for me there was a 1 year warranty with HP refurbished systems. I called the support and they gave me their repaired shop closest to my house where I can send it back at no charge to have it fix.

I got my new fixed HP laptop back about 2 weeks later and when I talked to the repaired guy what caused it to go down. He told me the motherboard got burned and they had to replace the motherboard along with the 2x 2BG memory ram and the video card.

Because my HP laptop needed repaired only 10 minutes after I turned it on and I had to wait 2 weeks for it to get fix. I decided to buy the 2 years extended warranty, but when I called to pay for the extended warranty, the HP support person said my laptop was no longer under any warranty, so I can’t get the extended warranty. However, I just had the laptop only for about 1 month. I told the support person about how I sent my laptop to HP to have it repaired only a few weeks earlier still with warranty, but apparently they said it was no longer under warranty.

I never brought a laptop before and only been using desktop PC for many years. I had about 3 or 4 PC before and never had any problem with anyone of them. So I was not concern about searching about with laptop has the most problem and repairs, my only concern at the time prior to buy this HP laptop was the hardware of the laptop.

Now my HP laptop is broken down again for the second time with no warranty. I am not going to buy any more HP laptops. I am now leading towards Acer and maybe Toshiba laptops.

I would guess that Apple would be the best laptop but I’m a PC guy and I do some 3D work and gaming is important to me. So Apple is unfortunately out of the list.
