The website Laptop has launched a new series of posts about notebooks and netbooks. This time, they’re grouping the models by brand and asking readers to weigh in. Up first: HP, which generally has good aesthetics and keyboards as well as multitouch technology, but bad touchpads and heat issues. They also note that customer service is pretty bad for HP products.

HP is the only article posted as of now, but Laptop says it plans to do the same with all the popular brands. They also want readers to chime in with their own experiences, both good and bad, so if you feel like sharing some personal HP experiences you might want to head over there and comment.
