I have an HP Pavilion ze5170 that I have had now for a little over three years. I absolutely love it.... the only problems I've had with it were user errors (it slid off my lap and the power plug broke)
My hubby bought a comparable Compaq this year, and he loves his. The only issue I have with mine is weight... I have arthritis, and I wish it wasn't quite so heavy. And hubby's has an internal wireless card, which is great for simply having one less thing to tote around, however mine being external means I can replace it relatively cheaply when it craps out.
The only warranty I can suggest, on the advice of a friend who works at Best Buy and knows why they push certain warranties, is the one for the monitor. Laptop screens will eventually need to be replaced, especially if you use it a lot.
I wish my battery lasted longer, too, but I carry a powerstrip with me, lol, and that takes care of 90% of my problems... I just find a plug and away I go. It lasts long enough for a class, so for now that's enough.
