Maybe it's HP's problem, but the two HP laptops I had that I used for hours upon hours a day both died within 1 month short of a year (thank goodness for warranty) so... yeah, just keep that in mind. Laptops arent made to be used as a desktop in my experience and using it as so will make it not very durable.

My first laptop (an HP) is still going strong after 6-7 years of use. When I was the one using it, I used it MANY hours a day and played MS frequently (among other things). My second laptop (almost two years old, also an HP) is absolutely perfect. She's very fast, works solid and handles anything I try doing on her. I spend in excessive of 10 hours a day, nearly every day, using her. That often includes or is solely MS.
Sounds you like guys need to stop buying crap or learn how to take care of your machine.
