A couple of things I did not mention about the HP NX6125. The first is that 
the one I bought had a full 3 year manufacturer's warranty I did not know 
about when I bought it. (I believe that Dell systems have 90 days). I have 
not had the unit long enough to break the keyboard. 
My previous Compaq Presario laptop I bought in about 2000 has been banged 
on, dropped, and generally treated poorly. It's been used for teaching at 
Northeastern, BLU meetings and installfests, trips to various nefarious 
locations. The only thing wrong with it is that the power jack is a bit 
loose as the result of a fall from a table. A rubber band serves to keep it 
up.
