Interesting. I am not so keen on Dell but have had a lot of machines out 
there for years with no problems (customer driven) and often you can't 
argue with the deal price; HP is my first choice (had used to be IBM, 
back in the day).

May I ask, which models/series of HP one has had difficulties with? I'll 
look into sticking them on my 'avoid' list?
