>>52960768
install linux on it, then maybe you won't have those problems

>>52960794
I want to but this is a hardware issue. I might try uninstalling the keyboard drivers or some shit. Luckily I have a usb keyboard right now.

should have bought a thinkpad OP.

>>52960768
faggot your the problem not the laptop

we told you to /tpg/

>>52960768
So replace the keyboard...

>>52960768
when your thinkpad is made by HP......................

yeah that's what you get for buying off-brand thinkpads, OP

I'm an HP rep, what's the problem OP?

No shit retard. Enjoy your shitty underclocked i7 too.

Here we see a fuccboi in their native environment.

>>52962448
lenovo is shit as well. Is there any manufacturer than doesnt make broken overpriced shit?

Justin?

>>52960768
Never had this issue must only be you

>>52963044
Macbooks.
Thinkpad T/X models that are not T440, T450, X230, X1, X2.
Latitudes.

Pretty sure it's just you OP. HP shit tends to last the longest in my household.

The latest model of T-series is not good? How come?

>>52960768
I had a HP laptop once. Never again. POS fan, that (I hypothesize) choked itself to death for being such a failure. It broke while taking the keyboard off.

I had a HP laptop too. I was using it as a server for my IRC shell. One morning when I woke up it was shut down and it never turned on again. I opened it up to see if something is clearly fried but it looked clean. Not even another power supply helped, it was done for.

It wasn't the enterprise model though, it was just a consumer model and a few years old.

>>52960768
I had a HP and never again. My current laptop is a toshiba. and shit has been running since 07 with daily use.

You're going to have a bad time if you buy cheap consumershit of ANY brand, though HP is particularly notorious.

Solution: Don't buy cheap consumershit. Instead, buy mid-to-high end consumer laptops or mid-to-high-end business laptops.

Yes, you can afford it. Save for a couple more months, it's worth it. If you're pinching pennies that hard, get a near-mint used model from a year or two ago from office outlets and the like. Whatever you do, don't succumb to cheap shit. You deserve better than that.

> ^typed from broken keyboard.
800 + warranty is not cheap. Laptops shouldnt cost more than 1000 just to have decent build quality and design. designs are getting shittier in recent years to copy macbook.

>>52963568
>800 + warranty is not cheap
Depends on how you look at it. The way I see it, laptops never actually got cheap; companies just started offering shittier laptops for lower prices. Laptops worth buying have never been cheap, consistently passing the $1k mark ever since they hit the mass market.

Anything below $1k makes a few cents at best for the manufacturers. The margins are razor thin. Don't expect them do you any favors at that profit level.

>hardware issue
>thinks drivers will do anything

top kek, friend

>>52963319
>best is 10% at 2 years
how is this acceptable?

>>52963763
Disposable culture + continually growing software bloat that inspires a "well it was running slow anyway, might as well upgrade" response to malfunctions.

If everyday-type software ran on 6-year-old PCs as well as new ones there would be way more people getting upset about their laptops breaking.

>>52960768
everyone on /g/ knows there only two options: Thinkpads or MacBooks, everything else has shitty build quality and will die early.

>>52960768
>buy elitebook workstation 4 years ago
>no issues still works to this day
>gave it away because i wanted something light (the elitebook was borderline 9lb without power adapter).

>>52963319
>not differentiating between business/consumer products

trash graph, not even a source non the less.

>>52960768
>he had to be told not to buy hp
it's your own fault OP

>>52960768
Awesome review. I think I'll buy 2 to give to family members to spite both you and them.

>>52960768
I've owned/worked with tons of HPs. Great computers desu. Only issues I've ever had with them happened due to malicious abuse.

>>52960789
>I wish my perfectly fine machine would just break.

Why.

>>52963216
Lenovo bought ThinkPad and fucked it all up basically. The W530 was basically the last good ThinkPad.

hp laptops are shit tier, I have never met anyone who had an hp laptop that didn't overheat as hell.

>>52960768
>Never buy HP laptops.
But they are so much cheaper than Apples and they look just as cool.

>>52960768
>buys a consumer product
>is surprised when it's trash
???

buy a replacement keyboard and install it yourself dingus

>>52960768
Yeah I too had an HP laptop, piece of shit died because the NVIDIA GPU (8400GS, if I remember correctly) in it was one of the faulty ones.
I had to get the mobo changed because the GPU was built into the mobo (it was late 2008). But guess what, the same thing happened to the new GPU on the new mobo.

What happened to laptop durability? My brothers old Pentium 4 laptop still works without a hitch, it must be 10 years old at least.

>>52966762
So a shitty nvidia card with high fault rate is hp's fault?

>>52966805
Well kinda, should've tested it before selling.
But I don't blame them, this was an issue with lots of laptop GPUs across brands, Dell, HP, you name it. The problem was there because NVIDIA fucked some soldering process
Still I can see why you guys like to use thinkpads, they're reliable that's why. These days laptops are so fragile, when you push the power button you don't know if it will actually wake up or it died in sleep

Never understood why Sony went out of the laptop industry, I'm using a sandy i7 vaio and it's perfect.
Even came with a battery dock to double the battery life while I'm out.
It gets a little warm but that's just normal for laptops.
Also not a 1366x768 screen.

Still working perfectly as a portable computer.

Laptops are proprietary, disposable shit. Your mistake was not buying HP, it was buying a laptop at all and expecting it to work correctly for any substantial length of time.

>>52967129
I have a turionX2 laptop that still works great.
Upgraded to 4gb ram and installed Fedora with MATE.

>>52967182
Have fun with your carpal tunnel, your shitty 3D and CPU performance, and increased eye strain, pleb.

Had mine for years still runs like a champ. Did some things to it. And when ever I had a problem, it was always user error. Like me breaking the screen or blowing out the speakers, or putting shitty tickers on it or porn.


It's a shame, such great computers

>>52960768
I have a Dell laptop from 2011 and still works fine except for the outdated specs and the battery needs to be replaced. I did hear recently that HP is shit so this confirms it.

So what about ASUS
i bought a $700 laptop with GT740M meme in 2013
and it work great, keyboard still good, battery is about 30% dead, heat still acceptable even in summer (~55 C)

>WD green HDD running 24/7 for 2 years
>should be dead any day
>5 years later
>fucking die already

>>52967239
That looks beautiful.

I'm really lucky with mine though, got it for less than 200 dollars and it came with a battery dock. Truly a steal considering it's Australia.
Great for uni.

>>52960789
Why the fuck do you people want your shit to die???

>>52967311
saying it as a joke, as in damn, it wont die its so well made

either that or they want a reason to buy a new HDD

>>52967311

It was free and I can't justify buying something new with dedicated graphics while its still working so well.

That said I just ordered a new laptop. Oh boy!

>>52967279

>Rance

Good taste anon.

>buy consumer grade HP laptop 5 years ago
>came with 6 gb of ram which was pretty good for the time
>just upgraded my hdd to ssd
>zoomin boot times

who /shittyHPlaptop/ here?

>>52960768
Can confirm. Had an HP laptop a few years ago and it ruined my family.

Never again.
