have had zero problems with my 2.5 year old HP with nvidia graphics
Hp is a great choice due to the fact that the pavilions are loaded with ports that most other laptops don't even have
I'm happy with mine and bought another HP recently too
one thing I must say is check the keyboard before you buy, the one I just got has really small 'shift' keys so that they could accomodate the 'arrow' keys into the rectangular keyboard..... I don't link that and prefer a standard keyboard that has the 'arrow' keys down a bit out of the rectangular formation
