Hubby's laptops from work are HPs. They do not last long at all.
3yrs is ancient for a HP. The screens seem to be the most vulnerable.

Our Dell which is almost 10 yrs old, has a dead battery, and blew out its harddrive...but our son put in a new one and it still works.
We think it got too hot. So now we put pencils under it so the air
can circulate better. It still goes pretty well, but it is only a back up.

I personally like our tower, and when we replace it, it will be another tower. I don't like typing on laptops at all.
