Hewlett Packard HP Pavilion DV9000 — 

I bought the HP Pavillion dv9000 when I started working at home last year. The main thing that attracted me to it was the ten key being ON the keyboard. Two months later, I started getting blue screens nearly everytime I got on it. Eventually, strange things started to happen. It would just shut itself down out of nowhere, I lost all use of sound, I wasn't able to right click on my mouse, my internet stopped working  and eventually I wasn't even able to turn it on. I have had the hard drive replaced twice and it is still extremely unstable. I will get a blue screen at any given moment or it will just shut itself down sporadically. I no longer work at home and really just use the laptop to google things or do recreational things, but it is a GINORMOUS waste of a thousand dollars and I don't know that I will EVER buy HP again based on the performance of this thing.
