I’ve had similar experiences with HP laptops. Their printers used to be good, too, but I’ll never buy one again. I just replaced a not-old (only four years old, maybe?) OfficeJet Pro that couldn’t print for crap with an Epson that cost about half of what I paid for the HP and it works perfectly.
“Their printers used to be good, too,”
Think beige!!!!!!!
There old LaserJets were the best thing ever made. We had two of thev11x17 five series that were over 4 million pages each. My then boss said to get rid of them because he “wanted to see something new.” We donated one to a local charity that uses it to this day - probably past 10 million pages.
Anything in the new back and white scheme - not worth carrying home if it is for serious use.
HP is the longest known boycott of a product for me. I bought in 07’, the HP DV6000 series and it is probably the only known laptop lawsuit, which compounded the issue by having a separate lawsuit against NVIDIA graphic cards.
I was happy the company is close to folding but the people there, I feel bad. Whenever I buy a laptop and the words NVIDIA and HP are in the specs, I avoid it just like the past 5 years.
