should i buy an HP laptop with Windows 7?

Someone lied to you

If you get a decent HP computer around $500 dollars with windows 7 it will run great. My girlfriend bought one in december and has had 0 problems whatever.

Windows 7 is a great OS and only retards will make it crash O_o...

*EDIT*

Now the below posts do say that HP is on the list of the most unreliable laptops. This may be true, however those sources were from a few years ago. There were issues with the hinge and mobo, as well as a few battery faults. But, believe me they MORE than made up with it by extending the warranty and they came out with a new design and WAY better hardware.

I have an HP desktop with windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit since the middle of February and it's never crashed yet. My wife has an HP netbook with windows 7 and it's never crashed yet. I don't know who told you that but it's a bunch of bull crap. I hate Vista, but I love windows 7

Who ever tells you that Windows 7 keeps crashing, well he or she lied to you. Windows crashing on that computer is the users fault. He or she is probably a heavy user. So, if I were you, I would buy Windows 7 with that HP laptop.

Windows 7 is amazing. If their computer crashes every day, something is wrong with it. I wouldn't buy an HP laptop though, persay, because they're at the top of the "Laptops that break alot" list. Try for a Lenevo, Acer, Toshiba or the most reliable, Asus.

i have an hp laptop with windows 7 and its never crashed on me

NO. Out of the top 9 laptop manufacturers HP comes in dead last for reliability. If you want something that is going to last look into an Asus or Toshiba.

And try this little test: Go to your search engine and type in "HP laptop lawsuits". I think you will quickly change your mind about buying one.

HP is a good brand and many uses it and windows 7 is a good OS as well, but check the unit by yourself for you to know the real condition of the said computer.

No way it crashes, windows 7 is soo light and fast. It works perfectly for me.
