If she wants a new HP, I bet she will later need another HP... As Hugh said, I only have Thinkpad on a different category. I had more than a couple company issued laptops from a variety of brands (HP, Dell, Acer, Itautec) and every single one was replaced because of hardware issues, some under warranty, some not. Until I got a ThinkPad and I refused to get a newer, faster, shinier non thinkpad... One of my current laptops (I have 2) is a T430 from '12, but I don't trade it for a new HP or Dell...
