Whatever normal one you buy it's not gonna stay alive for long unless you have good luck with it, when I purchased my HP 1260, Vedant told me it should go dead by 6 months, Prices have gone cheap, quality cheaper, my old ATA Sony ran for almost 3 years and was working same as new when I sold it, that's why I had paid 2k for that :)
