HP = Compaq = Voodoo
Dell = Alienware
Low Dells suck. Top end take Alienware design and quality (supposedly)
Low HP sucks, too crappy. Compaq sucks period. Mid high HP is good. Business line HP = Voodoo if I remember correctly.
Seriously though, regardless of what laptop you buy, if you use it at home, get a LAPTOP COOLER to better increase airflow so that shit doesn't overheat as easy. (Which is why your mobo ate shit in the first place)

I know. . .I just find it ironic that they are called lap tops

I always have my laptop on my lap when in Mac OSX. When I boot into Windows, it turns into a furnace though.

I would highly advise against a used or refurbished laptop. Most Windows laptops aren't meant to last more than 2-3 years.

I've been using a Pavilion DV6000 (Core2Duo) series laptop for a couple years now, it's been flawless, even with Vista. It's never gotten hot enough to notice.
