If you are looking to buy a great laptop these days, I suggest purchasing a used Latitude 5000 series. The 7000s are also great still, but they are getting thinner and thinner and thus more difficult to repair. The 5000s are a bit more reasonably sized and easier to work on. I have been using Latitudes now for a decade thru my work laptops and as my personal PCs.

To be honest, their laptops have always been plagued with hardware issues. Usually it's cooling related because they're always trying to slim them down. The best made laptops are Dell Latitude and ThinkPads. I work in IT and am in frequent contact with tons of laptops.
