It’d be nice if I had a 50-year-old car instead of a 2-year-old, because it’d be simpler to fix...but that’s a rant for another day.
I’ve had HP computers since I was 5 years old. Never had a problem with any of them. The XP still works, so does the 7 and my two Windows 8 laptops. I can’t stand Windows 10 but those things work fine too. All mid-priced except for one fancy souped-up Windows 10 I got recently.
Bought an Acer once. It lived about five weeks.
ALERT, ALERT! Thread hijack.
Easier to fix, but you have to do it more often. Set of spark plugs lasted 3000 miles 50 years ago. Now they last 100,000 miles.
I had a 64 Mini-Cooper that I had to tune up every weekend because it would shake itself apart during the week. I got pretty good at tuning and balancing the SU carbs. Took about 10 minutes once I go good at it.
