We have two HP laptops and one hp desk top. The desk top is somewhere between 13 and 15 years old, maybe older. Not a problem from day one.
My laptop is 4 years old. After the first year, a couple day AFTER the warranty ran out, it had some problems that could be fixed over the phone. The second years about the same time of year, it went stupid again. It was fixed, once again over the phone. I do believe, these computers are programed to break at a certain time..
The third year, my computer completely crashed however, I do believe the tech that was installing our internet in this house, caused the problem. He had problems getting this computer to recognise the wireless. No problems since, knock on wood..
My wife's computer is 3 years old and haven't had a problem except recently. It no longer likes IE and will shut down. Works fine with MSN explorer. The tech believes she's picked up a virus when she opened one of those, "you won" emails. She knew it was bogus, but curiosity go the better of her. She's learn a hard lesson..
We also have 5 hp printers. One never worked from day one and hp sent us another to replace it. The other four work great. We also have an epson and lexmark wireless. These work great also.
We also have an hp scanner. Worked fine for a while but, doesn't now.
Think we like hp?? LOL
