Ever since HP had the design flaw in the laptops where the GPU would overheat and solder joints would deattach from the board, I will never buy an HP again

For what I have been told, it was a known flaw in the Nvidia chipset, plaguing some other brands too. The manufacturers just didn't care, they apparently calculated the cost of potential warranty issues being small enough for profitability.

At work trend micro AV started to recognise the driver as a spyware and warns the users, now the Sccm admin has to package the new driver in emergency and deploy it. Until then the users call the support to report their 'infected' computers. A waste of time for everyone really.
