Prove your worth my time by making me a good printer hp.
Are their printers bad? I haven’t even tried any in decades because their business practices are so awful, but I always thought that at the very least the printers themselves should be good.
Sadly, Brother’s printers might be going on the same direction now.
They’re fine so long as you keep them offline and don’t ever update the firmware. I’ve had my current HP for 7 years, it’s been solid so far.
HP has gotten in trouble multiple times now for firmware updates that intentionally brick their own printers, usually in an effort to stop people from using 3rd-party ink. Their system for verifying authentic ink is unreliable though so everytime they do it they also brick a bunch of printers that are overpaying for HP ink.
Generally HP is the poster child for the worst inkjet printer company.
I know HP printers are generally considered the worst printers you can get, but I don’t really know how good their other product lines are.
It’s different departments, so possibly they could make a decent handheld? Mainly it’s just good to hear hardware companies are aware of how bad windows is for gaming devices.
HP is all over the place, they do make trash, but their business laptops are usually pretty good.
HP can make some neat stuff but I wouldn’t hold my breath on this one.
Probably have better luck convincing Agilent to make some cool shit
The Dev One laptop wasn’t half bad as a collab between HP and System76. Full AMD hardware stack, easy RAM and storage upgrades, Pop!_OS from the factory.
Came with WiFi 5 (easy enough to upgrade to 6) and no TPM/Secure Boot capabilities, has the typical HP flimsy display hinges, and the 1920x1080 glossy display has the worst viewing angles in history, but I guess that makes it quarter-bad rather than half.
