I have purchased and returned more HP computers than the number of times that the Grateful Dead have tuned between songs.

I liked how they’d be tuning and then it turns into the riff from St. Stephen.

“.....than the number of times that the Grateful Dead have tuned between songs.”

That was tuning? I though it was an experimental thing....

HP support sucks. Go to the site and type in your HP model. I could never find the support site working. In essence there was NO support. Not even drivers could be found.

Their lower price laptops are junk. The ribbon to the screen breaks. Their charger cords break internally. The wire is about the size of a hair. I switched my college kids to Asus and they had none of these problems. HP pro laptops I’ve used are better.

One thing that drives me nuts are their printer menus. Every one is different and not user friendly. Some of them have no way to set a default, so you have to enter your preferences every time.

I had a photo printer that worked nicely but when I got a new computer, no one in customer service could figure out how to make it work on the new computer.

Some of their printers sound like a piece of diesel rock crushing equipment. I’ve had ones I couldn’t use at night since they woke everyone who was asleep. I don’t find “bang, ka-clunk” a useful feature.

A lot of their products I’ve used are made by hardware and software developers who follow this motto: “OK, close enough. We’ve already spent too much time on this thing. Start selling them.”

I used great older HP equipment when I was in college long ago. It took me a long time to face up to the fact that today’s HP is not the same company.
