Carp, I forgot he wanted a laptop. I haven't kept up with the newer models. I
was talking to some guys at a reseller in New Zealand the other day and they
were talking about an HP something but I can't remember what.My boss has an HP
that looks similar to a Macbook but its plastic so its lighter and doesn't burn
your legs. If I'd known about it when I got my mac I'd never have gotten what
I've got now.

I'm typing this on a HP G72 that I bought for $400 at Radio Shack nearly
ten years ago.
3 Problems:
About 4 years ago I lost two vertical lines on the display.
When it first happened, moving the lid would fix it, so the problem is
with the flat flex circuit going through the hinge, not the display
panel itself. I figured that was just a random thing.
2 years ago I had to replace the battery. 1 year ago the Chinese
replacement battery was worse than the original battery. Cheap Amazon
battery #2 is holding up fine.
This summer one of the hinges jammed, and cracked the lid at the hinge.
This seems to be something that happens to them all eventually, but it
took over nine years to happen to me, so hard to be mad.
Next computer will probably be a $600 17" HP from Costco. Hoping to
either get the current ones for $500 or one with an 11th gen processor
for $600 by year end. These days a cheap $600 lappy comes with 12GB ram
and 1 TB hard drive, and the Costco HPs still have a DVD writer.
