MODERATORS
The only area where their reputation is strong is business tech support sector. Laptops are also doing well, but it's a small market in comparison.
I had a HP laptop in the past. When I brought my laptop for repair, they costed it so high as they say they need to replace the motherboard. The issue was the nvidia card that is causing overheats.
I declined as the price of repair is almost the price of a new laptop. This was an official HP service center. It made me swore off HP laptops even if they look really nice.
