Best/worst laptop you've ever owned?

[True Dough]

I started out buying Toshiba laptops. They were very reliable and I got at least 5 years out of each one before they started really slowing down.

Moved to an HP and it was a nightmare. Black screen started showing up within the warranty period. Sent it in three times for repair and then fought with HP to replace it. They gave me a higher-end gaming laptop that I gifted to a relative.

I moved on to Acer. It was fine but slowed down earlier than the Toshibas. Only kept it about 3.5 years.

I'm currently on an Asus. It's not quite 4.5 years old but it has become very unstable as of late. It came with Windows 10 Home installed. I held off on converting to Windows 11 but finally made the leap earlier this year. The download went fine. Then following an update about three weeks ago, I started getting the blue screen and crashing. I rolled back those updates in hopes that would resolve the problem. No dice.

I could format this laptop but I figure I'll just start over with a new one instead. So tomorrow I'll be out and about, trying to figure out what to buy next.
