I’m with you
I bvought one HP computer- The secondary drive bay was welded shut so you could not install a second drive. For the entire time I owned it my 2nd hard drive was hangin by the wires
To remove a broke flobby drive I had to break apart the front plastic. there was a weird port in the fron that NOBODY made anything for...
When I needed drivers the tech support people acted like they were from a foreign country and didnt understand what I wanted - I knew more then them- it was like they contracted with the first company from Inda in the phone book
Total POS and not even their printers are any good anymore. I bought an inkjet all-in-one and it would shake so bad I thought it was going to bring my desk down
A much more accurate description is: "Spun off the instrument making divisions of the company, which then adopted the name Agilent." Every Agilent employee, on the day of the spin-off, had been a Hewlett-Packard employee the day before.
It was a difficult adjustment for those in Agilent to give up using the "Hewlett-Packard" name. Hewlett and Packard had founded and grown the company making very well-respected Hewlett-Packard instrumentation for decades.
The decision was evidently based on the fact that the computer side of the house needed the recognition of the Hewlett-Packard brand name for the computers and printers more than the instrumentation side of the house needed the name.
#6. Hired a dumb broad that knew nothing about HP to be the CEO. She ran it into the ground. So much for her thinking HP was “just a printer company”.
