My wife has two HP laptops from work.  Both are about 4 months old.
One has audio problems, the other seems to have misplaced the nvidia
chip so only the intel graphics works, which means no external monitors
can be connected.  One of them was just reimaged because it managed to
mess up windows bad enough skype couldn't launch.  Those are Zbook 15
G5 workstation laptops.  Not looking good quality wise for HP so far.
The issues with the video on one is why she has the other but the second
hasn't fully worked yet and hence she still has both of them.
