I hope it’s not an HP printer…#shitpost

@[email protected] @[email protected] they are hit and miss. i got my mom a decent one with an edu discount that was a good Ryzen laptop, it's a bit cheap on the frame but is a solid laptop. their cheaper $200 models are just shit don't buy it. we're talking intel nx200 like just no
-
@jaded @puppygirlhornypost2 I mean yeah but basically any laptop for $200 is sketchy. Cheap laptops tend to just be cheap.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] yeah but hp has this marketing in which people think they're getting a good deal. idk i only see people buying the cheapest hp laptops and never like the lower end dells
-
@jaded @puppygirlhornypost2 HP does something similar to lenovo where they have their laptops basically constantly on sale. Dell doesn’t do it as much iirc. I think Lenovo and HP are kinda just the big players in cheap junk laptops, but they both obviously make quality laptops outside of that.

@puppygirlhornypost2 @183231bcb The last HP printer I owned worked for about 1 year, and bricked.
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @[email protected] I bought the cheapest-available HP keyboard (wired) 10 years ago and it still works like new.
-
@183231bcb @[email protected] to be fair it is hard to fuck up a keyboard unless you're apple
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @[email protected] Amazon Basics also managed to fuck up a wired keyboard and mouse.
I'm also daily-driving an HP desktop, laptop, mouse, external SSD, and stylus. I got them independently because they all seemed like the best deal when I bought them (except the stylus which I got specifically because it was compatible with my laptop screen). I've had far worse experiences with Dell and Lenovo laptops breaking.
I did have a shitty experience with an HP monitor so I'm not using it anymore. (A much better Samsung monitor was almost the same price).
Oh right and the hp.com store (where I got my desktop) was literally the worst online retail experience I ever had, in spite of the fact that I like the desktop I ended up with. All my other HP products came from other retailers.
I recall several years ago hearing that HP was considering making Android smartphones and thinking "if they make the UI of a phone like they make the UI of their web store then this phone is going to be completely useless no matter how good the hardware is." -

@puppygirlhornypost2 @[email protected] I have never used an HP speaker, aside from those built into my laptop. My current logitech speakers are 8 years old and work like new (at least until logitech implements their plan for subscription peripherals I guess).
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] I will actually fucking puke if I have to pay a subscription for working fucking sound drivers

@[email protected] @[email protected] Yeah but like every printer my parents' had (of many brands) did the same. It helped solidify my hatred of all printers. #AllPrintersAreBastards #APAB
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] To be clear I don't know if they are planning subscription speakers: I know logitech proposed subscription mouse drivers, which seems extra ridiculous to me because I have never installed a firmware update on a mouse or keyboard (I only used wired).
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I don't believe an HP product ever has been or ever will be on sale. Oh sure, their online store says that literally all their products are on sale all the time, but I believe they are lying. The price they actually sell it for is the real price.
And yeah, same goes for Lenovo. Honestly, I suspect any computer vendor who says a product is "on sale" is lying until proven otherwise. -

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I recall shopping for my first ever (non-smart) cellphone in the Sprint store, the salesperson told me every single phone was "Usually $X, but if you buy from us it's only $Y."
There were a lot fewer unlocked phones back then (in the U.S. anyways), so people "usually" bought phones from the carriers.
I asked when this "usually $X" price is actually used, and they said "If you buy it from Best Buy or something, then it's $X."
They were lying. Best-Buy claimed they "usually" charged $X for the same phone, but it was "on sale" for much less.
