I hate HP laptops
I had a couple of HP laptops and they never worked right. They mostly over heated on me or were spammed with blot HP crappy software installed, making me have re install windows*
I had about 4 HP before I just gave up on their shitty builds. I just got new Asus laptop and haven't seen any problems with it so far.
I've had an HP dv5 laptop for 4 years and its still working like a charm and haven't experience a single issue except what you guys called over-heating which I don't consider as a problem.
I have did at least 10 clean format from windows 7 to 8.
I gave it to my little brother and bought an alienware.
