My old Compaq presario CQ61 notebook is nearly 4 yrs old now and the only faults I've ever had with it are the battery died so I replaced it with a heavy duty one and a few wks ago the mains transformer died so got a new oem one off eBay for £12 posted.
In that time I'd say its been on and doing stuff for more than half the time I've owned it as its always running downloads in the background even when I'm out or asleep, its on.
This is my third hp/compaq computer, the first an office based small format desktop which my folks now have connected to their tv and the NAS box and the other was a dual core tower with media center and removable hard drive caddy that my ex wife is probably still using.
In 7 yrs I've never had a problem with HP/compaq so won't be changing to another brand until this one lets me down.
