Most the machines I currently have on my bench are 18 month old laptops which were cheap end HP crap at the time. I always try and convince my clients to spend a bit more if they haver the money, e.g on a Thinkpad which are much better built.
The cheap laptops I see range from needing new keyboards, hard drives and screens (not the fault of the laptop. Overheating is another major issue with laptops and HPs are by the far the worse for this.
What I am saying is try and spend money on build quality rather than spec.
