I used to use an HP laptop computer. Since I bought a HP printer I thought: Why can't I have the same brand for the computer as well?
HP just so happens to be one of the most beautiful brands of laptops in the world. The chassis is unique, just like a car chassis. You can see your reflex on it like you can in a cool car. Moreover this laptop chassis is one of the most resistant ones. It does not use any kind of bad plastics, it's all almost metal so you can see how tough it is.
The software it comes with the computer is very useful as well. The first one is the backup tool that is very useful. For example yoi8 can use it to safely backup your entire computer, even the operating system. Why is this so useful? Because your computer can be stolen, this is one reason. Most people leave their laptops in palces they shouldn't even in public places so it's no wonder they get their computer stolen or lost.
Another reason is that you can get your hard disk damaged. I recently had my hard disk seriously damaged and had to replace it, just by using the computer. I come home and Vista surprisingly tells me that my hard disk was severely damaged and needs to be replaced. This is how this thing works... You need to have a very recent backup all the time.
One thing I also liked about this computer is that you can have great costumer support, something that you won't have with most OEM brands and even other brands, their number used to be free. I am not sure if it's still free, but while the computer warranty lasted, the support call was entirely free. Why is that so useful? Imagine you are a true computer initiated user and you know almost nothing about it. The computer needs maintenance and needs a lot more things, and with this thing you can be sure that you will get all the support you want for free. Just do not push it to the limits. They are not doing that anymoe I am afraid...
Final reason why the HP computer is so good. The quality of the construcion. All the parts are in the right place, most brands do it, but the way HP does it, with all the care and detail makes it a great choice for someone who wants a computer that will last a lot of time, and not a computer that will last just a few months or a year. If you take care of it the HP will last you at least five years.
Other brands make their computers mostly with plastics, they are melting down and they will get damaged easily with the weather, hot and cold temperatures... humidity... don't go for them.
