Ha Ha, I've never owned an HP product, so couldn't comment. I always build my own PC's.

HP do more than PC's mate. Trust me, I should know.

Printers? What else do they do? I always thought of them as a PC & Printer manufacturer.

HP are huge now. Phones, tablets, servers, PCs, printers and much more.

They also offer IT support to businesses, and this is the part I work in.

Like I say, huge company.

I've been buying Hp printers for the last 8 years, I love them

The ink is so much cheaper then Lexmark and the printers never let me down

[Adycakes]

Well I didn't know that, thanks for the information.

They just buy out companies. They bought out the company I worked for that has the contract on the UK Government accounts (EDS), so I'm now HP.

They bought out Palm Pre recently and they are continuing to look for more opportunities to expand

Is that based at Amen Corner? I used to work there, many moons ago, when they had the software contracts for mobile phone base station testing for Nokia, Motorala and Ericsson. It was at the time they were working with Benneton in F1, which I would have loved to work on!

No mate. I'm bases in the North West (Lytham St. Annes) and working on the DWP account for the UK Government.

Ah, I didn't think you were southern based. They were great to work for though, and introduced me to the delights of Assam tea! Easily pleased and all that, but their teabreak facilities were second to none!

[frodouk]

The site I'm based on is falling down - they have tried to make it better but it's just not working. Proper mess.

Consumer-end computers from HP are unbelievably poor at times.

My personal award for most seen failures here in the workshop goes to...*drum roll*...the DV series laptops.

These little gems, from the DV6000 to the 9000, are now turned away as a rule. To use a phrase form our American cousins - THEY SUCK.
