The last-gen HP Pavilions had some severe overheating issues. This current-gen with different hardware would resolve that, but that isn't the issue with HP. The issue with HP is consistently low quality from their consumer laptops. Not to mention their customer support is abysmal.
Unless you were going to spend big money on an HP Elitebook, which would offer better support and much better quality, I would stay away from HP all together. There are better options available.
