I've used a HP9000 workstation in 1979. Now I use a HP printer, as you say.

I remember when HP made many instruments. Oscilliscopes, multimeters, etc. The same models are still made, but under Agilent.

I'm not a HP computer fan, to be honest I use one at work and is a piece of junk when compared with Lenovo, dell or Toshiba.

HP as very good printers, I have now one for almost 7 years and works like when i bought it.

If I was a HP manager, i would focus HP business in other areas, not in laptops that was for sure.

Even IBM did that change and sold that business to Lenovo. And for me they very robust and reliable laptops.
