you did some homework. Thanx
I have only lost 1 laptop to a bad motherboard (heat) of my many laptops over the years, but have had to replace hard drive more than a couple of times. Not so much since they moved to SSD's. Had a number of colleagues who were not so fortunate, but they traveled a lot so impacts were probably the reason. Lenova's seem to be most solid. If laptop sits on one's desk all the time, then probably the same failure rate as desktops.

There is another site (service) that publishes results for failure rates for different drives by the specific product id. So not for example just by manufacture.

For my HP Elitebook is the battery and the performance what is driving me nuts. My laptop is now no laptop, it is a movil desktop as it has to be 100% connected to battery supply.
I switch it on, log in and then go making (and drinking) coffee because it needs around 10-15 minutes to complete all "startup" tasks, where the only one I added is just to open the windows explorer in a concrete folder, the rest are domain policies. Opening an office document in sharepoint needs 3-5 minutes, and so on... it bugs the hell out of me.
Sadly I must stick with it for a while as the next (already ordered) model is not available right now

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Fiber internet? I don't think they even have touch-tone service.

If only there is a main route nearby. I would buy the town, appoint myself as Maijor, then hire me as a chief of police and start with writing speed tickets like there is no tomorrow. If you to pass through my town you either drive like the elephanting Miss Dasy or get pulled over. Oh, and the speed limit will be 25 all the way.

You can set a minimum limit also - so make that 24.

It is 130 miles from El Paso which has fiber.
And looking it up I see per mile estimate for fiber is 80,000. Maybe right of way is allowed because it is a town? Although with Texas who knows.
So only $10,400,000 to lay fiber. But maybe another $10 million to get permission to lay it.
