I had an HP laptop back in the day. You’re right, it sucked. The server division was solid fora while, but towards the end of her tenor they fell.
And all of the test equipment my fellow employees used to use to do their jobs, went bye bye. Equipment lines they’d used for decades.
What did we get? Cheap ass printers and expensive ink.
HP has A LOT of work ahead of them if they ever want my business again. I think it unlikely.
Carly stuck a fork in HP, it will NEVER be the company it once was.... She made damn sure of that. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, she destroyed one of the greatest technical and innovative companies the world had ever seen.... To this day it has not recovered from her leadership.
However, HPUX always sucked, hardware was great, OS was crap... that was true long before Carly showed up.
