I remember my toshiba laptop as one of the best laptops I've owned. Solid construction, no skimping on components and stellar service. When it was time to upgrade I didn't find anything comparable, went with an HP that literally melted from its own heat within a year.

That's the problem with anecdata: My friend's 2011 HP Elitebook is working as well as ever. (Maybe don't buy a consumer model?)

That's what I thought as well about HP, just anecdata, but every single HP I had (3 of them in total) broke within a year, for various reasons. I always thought it was just a coincidence, but then I got a Toshiba in 2014 and it's as good as new still.

I wanted it for home use so why shouldn't I buy a consumer model? If it is so bad they shouldn't sell it, IMO.
