Reliability question for the DV6T

I couldn’t find this in a quick search of the web, so I’m hoping that someone here might able to help me. I found a great deal for the DV6T Quad $925ish via student discount. And I’m actually thinking about getting one.

I’m a little apprehensive about getting one though as I’ve had 3 HP’s die on me or have some type of on slot of issues after a year; However, I have not purchased an HP in over 3 years. Has their quality improved? Also how is the build quality of the Dv6t? Anyone know of a good in-depth review of the dv6t Quad? The system is almost 400 bucks cheaper then a similar Asus model which is what makes it so appealing to me.


I’ve seen reports on the net that state 1 in 4 HP’s fail within 3 years… from my experience it would seem to hold true, but the report failed to account for a good sample size and thus the data is irrelevant when applied to the populous as a whole.

I’ve been working with computers for the better part of 10 years and build all my desktops… laptops I leave to the big guys. I’m looking for a multimedia laptop and HP seems to have the best offerings (price wise), next to Asus, Dell, and Gateway.

 

I'll bump this, I want to hear answers too.

 

As for me, I'll stay clear from HP and nvidia products from now on.
