David, I've been using the cheap HPs for about 8 years, buying two at a time every year or two. I haven't had one fail yet. I did step on one and crack the screen. Bought a HP replacement screen on eBay, did it myself and it's still in the fleet. I used to sell the used ones, but with kids I just hand them down. And they're not easy on them. Still, they all work. No failures. Oh, one battery got weak and wouldn't last more than an hour or so. $45 for a new replacement.
Anyway, I'm not telling any of you NOT to buy an Apple if it's what you want and you can afford it.
Just be honest with yourself and understand the "lifestyle" brand-image you're buying, and perhaps some extra capabilities that you "want". YMMV
