All I can contribute is that I recently bought a new laptop and went for HP (on advice from SpannerMan, others and my own research relevant to my simple needs). Gotta say it is a bloody ripper. Similar specs to the one you mention. I did a lot of research and HP came up in a very positive light. We have a local business that upgrades/updates old computers and on-sells them - wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. The local computer whiz who transferred all our stuff to the new laptop is also an HP fan, in terms of reliability. I, also, don't need gaming or bells and whistles, just reliability.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
