I did not see this before because your quoting is broken.

I have used and supported many Dell and HP notebooks. I would never
spend my own money on a Dell -- I find the build quality average at
best and I do not like the designs. Also, due to the huge range of
models they've done, interchangeability of PSUs, docking stations,
etc. is poor.

HP was worse.

Any machine that was failing after only 3-4y is one that I would not
recommend, and your comment bears this out. If you think that's
normal, you've not tried good kit.

My testbed laptop at home is a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300. Now,
granted, I've looked after it well, but it is nearly 10 years old and
still working well.

(Review is of a related model.)

My machine shipped with Vista, because Win7 wasn't out yet.
