Q:
A: Lenovo, simply put, most components are made in China or Korea. I don't think you'd see much difference between HP/Compaq and lenovo on that front. I'd go with the compaq option personally. But to keep it simple, how long laptop computers run depends greatly on how you use them. Sitting down on the bed, surfing the internet with the laptop on a pillow while petting your cat and drinking a soda is almost certain to shorten the lifespan of your laptop. Keep your laptop on AC power as frequently as possible. Shut it down regularly. Only use it on a flat hard surface to prevent it from over heating. And keep food, drinks, pets and little children away from it. All of these followed closely will preserve the life of your laptop.
