Jilano273044yI feel you. My HP "lappy" just decided to not boot this morning because the CPU fan apparently stopped working during the night. I should have known better than to put it nicely on a shelf like that.
-
@Jilano you guys don't go to hibernation like most of the ppl hating windows bcuz of hibernation crashes?
-
Jilano273044y@melezorus34 Nope, disabled that as well as fast boot. Mine is purely an HP issue with the EliteBook models.

JhonDoe28604y@Jilano have you own hp laptops before? I've heard bad rumors about them from acquaintances. But I'll like to know you opinion on the matter
-
Jilano273044y@JhonDoe Not personally, got this one from work too. They look good, but we seem to have a lot more issues with them than with the Dell ones we had before. Could just be a series problem, though. I've heard good thing about the x360 Envy (hybrid)
What model are you looking for? -
I bought an Asus 2 years back. The 2 biggest problems I have had: power supply coil whine and it sometimes boots weird and has sound distortion which requires a reboot. I also had some weird video card glitches, but I chalked that up to drivers. Been pretty satisfied with all of it. I am still wary of updates though.

Zer0day12384y@Jilano I’m convinced that Windows is the worst. I stopped using it many years ago.
Now I’m back to it because I accepted an offer from a ridiculous company that don’t give devs the choice of development environment due to some fucking “regulations”. -
JhonDoe28604y@Jilano not a model in particular, just wanting to see if they had problems over all lines/models
-
Jilano273044y@JhonDoe Ok, well as I explained in my previous comments, we're having issues with the EliteBook models, especially cooling ones where the fan is either at 100% all the time or just stops working completely. That being said, those laptops are thinner than the Dell Latitude series (for example), so I'm not too surprised.
I'd recommend reading a bit more on the subject though, my experiences might have been anecdotal after all.
