Key quotes
· 3 pulledI've had about 400 Windows HP laptops/200 desktops through my hands running IT for a nonprofit.
They are not perfect, but the different models have been better built, and more easily serviced, than comparable Lenovo, Dell & Acer models I've had my hands on in the same time.
Our new MSP pushed Lenovos on us for a batch of 25 or so computers including my latest laptop, and I regret it.
