I've owned them all and am most satisfied with my HP Notebook. The 17" screen is great for everyday home usage. I recently contacted HP support and was 110% satisfied with their service. The part that most impressed me? The problem wasn't even theirs and yet they helped me! I was having problems with a Verizon modem and the gentleman from HP kindly walked me through the proper steps to take. Much better than the Compaq support I spoke with last year.
