If she wants a new HP, I bet she will later need another HP...
As Hugh said, I only have Thinkpad on a different category. I had more than a couple company issued laptops from a variety of brands (HP, Dell, Acer, Itautec) and every single one was replaced because of hardware issues, some under warranty, some not. Until I got a ThinkPad and I refused to get a newer, faster, shinier non thinkpad... One of my current laptops (I have 2) is a T430 from '12, but I don't trade it for a new HP or Dell...
I agree. I have had 2 ThinkPads of my own, currently an E520 and they both worked fine. The only reason I gave away my old one was I bought my current one, with a 16 x 9 screen and better WiFi. Other than the battery going, I've never had any issue with them. I also used to work at IBM, doing 3rd level software support and most of my work there was on ThinkPads and I never saw one fail. On the other hand, i had a Dell at one place I worked at it would lock up with a kaleidoscope of colours on the screen. I have seen other failures with other makes too. In my experience, the ThinkPads have been rock solid.
