HP Compaq Laptop

Hell of a workhorse. This machine gave me a good number of years of service. I upgraded the hardware (2 GB to 8GB of RAM) and software (Win 7 to Win 10) and it still does everything like a champ. It handles some games as well. It does lack a dedicated battery, and there's a minor issue with the trackpad, but apart from that, this thing works like nobody's business. It isn't one of those machines that you use for a few years and then toss aside for the next one. It's something that was built to last.
