Easy. Never buy HP. Their printers are shit and so are their laptops.

[–] Plopp@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

What's wrong with their laptops? I've never had any issues.

[–] baked_tea@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago (2 children)

For starters you don't need a heating unit if you keep their laptop running inside

[–] Plopp@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've never had that problem. But I've never had a particularly high end HP laptop so maybe those are different.

Also their batteries get pregnant every other year and if you don't fix it, it sets your house on fire.

[–] FlavoredButtHair@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Damn it, people need to stop fucking batteries or use protection.

Hahahahaja

Thanks for the laugh, and the vision.

Also, I'll be stealing the "getting pregnant" line

Source?

Anecdotal.

There's someone to say something bad about every computer brand.

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

Their consumer line has very poor build quality. Cheap everything. All of the plastic is flimsy and breaks easily, inadequate cooling, etc. They're built about as good as Acer, but at a price that you'd expect from a much, much better brand.

Then there's how dedicated they are to screwing you. I won't touch them again for any reason after how malicious they were with the nVidia failures.
