Is that a brand could and has had bad models you want to avoid. No maker has avoided the occasional bad model.
Given only what you asked, I'd shop the top 20 in this list.

Hello all:
The pc I am using is HP Pavilion dv6-1334us, 6-year-old. Often even the power button does't work.
I am planning to buy a new 15-inch laptop. What brand you think is better nowadays?
Besides, if go to repair, where?
Waiting for you opinion! --Zhao
