Ah. I avoid HP like the plague now. The first and only laptop I got from them kept having issue after issue, where both of my Dells, except for one problem, have run for years before giving up the ghost. One lasted for six years, and The other lasted for five years and seven months. Technically the one that lasted for six years still works, since I put Vinux onto it after I couldn't find my XP disc's after reformatting the system after I got a rather nasty virus that I was having a ton of trouble removing.
I can't wait to have a solid-state drive in the new laptop that I'm getting soon. It's going to be awesome! It'll be my first system with eight gigs of RAM and a 2.9 Core i5 processor; it's the architecture that's one generation behind the new Skylake processors, but that's fine for me. The model I'll be getting is a Lenovo ThinkPad T450S.
