Just buy a HP/Compaq CQ series notebook and make sure that you aren't going to be parted with it for more than the ten hours needed to get to the hard drive. Simple. Jesting apart, who has not had screws fall out or work loose from a Dell or HP laptop? The likelihood that the screws are in differently due to some secret spy type of person opening the machine is quite unlikely compared to the high likelihood that they have just worked loose of their own accord.
