Some minor issues with both but all in all they have both been workhorses for me and the family. Issues have been mostly software for the former some minor repairs for the latter. Mr. Steeper came to the rescue - official HP parts >$100, the Steeper solution one nylon tie with some whittling to make it fit plus a replacement pick-up rubber while we were in there and good as new (5 years ago anyway!). Cost ~$30 including labour!! No wonder he couldn't make a living do that kind of stuff.
