Confirms my experience with HP and Compaq laptops beginning at least 10 years ago. That's why I stay with the good stuff and it doesn't cost more but works better..
I'll second that one. I was responsible for supporting 8 Compaq Presario 1000 Series laptops, and within six months, each one had some sort of major hardware replaced, HDD, memory, display, crappy touchpad mouse, etc. After we bought a few IBM laptops (we were an IBM Business Partner), no problems. They are bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.
