| Regarding Laptops in the past I purchased a used Packard Bell EasyOne silver, it was only a celeron and a very basic home machine with no wireless or network built it. The machine lasted for a few years, I then sold it back on Ebay and actually sold it for a little more than I paid for it.
My latest Laptop is an HP nx6110, I've had the laptop 13 months and now it completely fails to power on or charge the battery - a faulty motherboard diagnosed as £250 to replace.
I've also recently bought an HP nx6125 for a friend who have since phoned me and mentioned that the screen flickers and goes back when they open the lid.
I'd steer well clear of HP in the future as when you pay around £800 for a laptop you expect to get a few years use out of the thing!
