I would disagree based on my experience. In Sept 02 I bought a dell inspiron 8200 refurb. Nice solid notebbok with only problem being a cracked screen from a nasty fall.
I bought a HP dv5210 in Aug 06 NEW that had dead pixels in 8months,a very finicky DVD drive,loose/flimsy screen hinges,and a flimsy base platform. It came will no install discs like my dell did so only option is to use restore when OS gets corrupt.
I just purchased a new notebook and bought a Dell because of my experience. Being a truck driver I leave my computer on for days at a time as my GPS is on my pc,plus a couple other programs. The vibration and shock from pot holes,speed bumps, wash board dirt roads(I do a lot of off road deliveries) really strain a pc and the Dell is still like new, where as the HP is showing it's wear and tear. While the OP may not put his through that much abuse, it's nice to know which one is tougher.
