Explains why I don't see any HP laptops in the wild no more. Pretty much Apples and Dells everywhere with an odd Lenovo here and there.

HP is abundant in the world of cheap enterprise laptops for employees. I would never buy one, but I don't care much about what the business I work for wants to buy its newcomers.
After about a year, I made it clear to my boss that I was much more valuable to the company running in a Linux system. They 'found' some extra budget and made it happen, and I'm very pleased with that, but I don't disagree with their first decision to just get a simple HP.

Everyone is our company is issued a HP hunk of garbage. Mine sits on top of a set of drawers buried under some manuals. Almost everyone in our team has a Mac, a custom built PC or some other nice machine.
I boot the HP probably once a year to blindly click through the flash based corporate training that one of us draws the short straw to write down the answers for.
