After years of tinkering with computers (and worse, getting problems dumped on me by everyone that knows I mess with the damn things), I've come to the conclusion that HP/Compaq/etc have most of their problems because of basic design and hardware integration issues. It's like for some models they push the final specs of which MB or video card to use out too fast, and conflicts result. I think it's a matter of QC at the engineering level, and to a lesser extent at the hardware level.
