I'm far from an expert, but I wouldn't buy anything from HP. Out of the three people I know who have had them (inc me) there have always been issues.
I've used hp's in a professional environment for the last 6 years (both laptop and desktop) and their performance has been flawless. I also know a massive number of people who use them personally without issue as well.

Maybe you were just unlucky :)
