HP laptops = crap?

This is the 3rd HP laptop that has done this..........After about a year of use, it won't stay on standby or hibernate. Doesn't matter how you put it on standby/hibernate, whether by hitting the power button or closing the lid......It still powers back up a few minutes later while sitting inside your bag or backpack.

Heck, my most recent HP is even worse, it not only powers back up, it actually reboots, and keeps doing so every ~20 seconds and you can't stop it unless you remove the battery and the cord and try again in a few hours.

And no, it's not me who keeps buying these things, they're company laptops.
