This summer will see us doing a bit of travelling, and I'm finally giving serious thought to getting
a laptop. Any one having good or bad luck with theirs?

I've always been partial to HPs. I believe their engineering and
reliability are a notch or two above the others. I'd also get a
wireless mouse for it since most touchpads leave a lot to be desired.
Unfortunately you will probably be stuck with Windows 10 if you buy a
new machine. People seem to like it once they get used to the new
interface but I'm set in my ways in that regard.


Coincidentally, I've kinda had my eye on this one:

Thanks for the comeback.




That is a nice machine if you are gaming or doing video editing. It
may be a little bit of overkill for the normal user.


I don't "game" on a computer but the last two HP's I've had were/are
their Pavilion "entertainment" versions, meaning high speed video, CPU
and other features apparently gamers want or need. I figured if they
can do games well, they will probably do everything else well also.
They have.
