Why does HP suck?

[Byron In Exile]

Their products used to be good.

The buck stops at the top.

Poor leadership!

What did you break now?

They sure do SUCK. I bought an HP laptop for close to $800. and 6 months later the hard drive crashed. HP replaced it under warranty. Unfortunately, 6 months later and only 9 days outside of the one year warranty, the new hard drive crashed. They wouldn't replace it, and I essentially threw the dam thing away. Unbelievable! The body of the laptop also came apart and the hinge malfunctioned. Total piece of crap.

I have a macbook pro now. I'm very happy with it and expect it to last for many years.

They are very knowledgeable in just exactly how long their components will last.

They transferred all the competent engineers to Agilent and kept the sloppy ones in HP.

Exactly! My new computer has a solid state hard drive and a great warranty.

My last ss hard drive lasted 2 years. Don't trust it.

Uh lets not get crazy.

Macs are good, but their warranties are no better than any others. Thankfully, I can support my own parts cause I aint going to the Apple store.

HP used to be wonderful.

Now they are not so good.

Not Gateway level yet, but almost.

Was it solid state?

 

[Skiddles2014]

It's okay.

I'm wondering if maybe the slave labor in the Chinese prisons where they build their equipment aren't sabotaging it?

You get what you pay for when it comes to consumer products.

Is the Packard the same Packard that used to make cars?

Actually, price and quality aren't necessarily related.

Solid State drives are a neat idea, but they're not practical, yet, for replacing disk drives.

Each cell can sustain only a certain number of write cycles before it fails.

They're great for backups, though.

It's not a bug, it's a blowjob.

That was James Packard.

Packard Bell was Leon Packard.

Hewlett-Packard was David Packard.

Any relation between them?

We'll need to ask the Shell Answer Man about that...

I know you're a moron, but holy shit could you be anymore wrong?

Show me one serious tech person who would recommend an SSD for doing backups. You don't make a drive that is made for good read/write speeds for backups. You buy low-power high density drives.

Also the issue of how many write cycles is pretty much now gone.

Stick to thing you know, like shitty music.

I had a mac for 5 years before the HP and it did not give me any trouble. I'm hoping this new one will last a lot longer than 1 year!

You are lucky to be so tech savvy.
