Nope, the hardware was great, back in the 80s,90s then once Compaq was swallows, HP lost their way. The only same answer has been to avoided their products since 2003.

Check our Samsung or Brother for printers that don't involve bullshit. Any Asus beats any HP laptop and HP "server" gear, jajaja

The HP Spectre line runs Linux out of the box with full device support. Asus is hit or miss.

Otherwise, yes, you're absolutely correct.

And guess most of HP ProBook line. Asus sucks here, plus zero chances to get any support.

Oh, yes, I fought for days with the trackpad on my Asus S410U. I forgot about that.

Samsung printers are owned by HP now. Expect the same within some time.
