Company that makes substandard desktop computers, but has mediocre customer service.
Known for putting cheap proprietary parts (such as underpowered power supplies) in desktop computers so that the parts fail around the time the warranty expires. Forcing customers to either buy overpriced proprietary parts from HP, or buy new PCs.
This is good news for technicians who know of work arounds to repairing Hewlett Packards. Most computers seen at repair shops are, in fact, Hewlett Packards.

Jim bought an Hewlett Packard desktop in July of 2006 and it lasted until exactly after the warranty ran out.

HP, stands for Holy Papathiscomputersucksass
and yes, your laptop power socket will freakin die after a year or two and thus force you to buy a new computer,
Hewlett Packard's desktops aren't entirely disgraceful though

A once great technology company that probably makes the majority of its money in the enterprise sector while designing and manufacturing inferior-quality consumer-level products with horrifically poor customer support.
A recent example is the wave of HP- and Compaq-branded laptops with wifi and video failures out-of-warranty; HP's only response is to either fix the machine for two-thirds what the customer paid or suggest a replacement...paid for by the customer, of course.

A very good computer company. Unlike what most people say, HP constantly provides what you paided for. Now HP cry babies will come along and yell about how their top of the line system sucks because it ain't so top of the line anymore. Blame the company because you can't spend $50 a month to keep it up-to-date.
Further more, Computer Illiterate people will come along and claim that the machine is making strange noises, or that it is too slow. Guess what... it is called a damn virus you idiots. Spyware Aware and probally half of your porn collection is wormed. Heck, torrent downloads have a 5:1 chance of containing trojans and you probally STILL don't have Alcohol 120%.
The Majority of hardware issues are caused because of your stupidity throwing the laptop accross the room will not make it work better. Also to be noted is that only geeks should be allowed to touch computer hardware... macho men don't have a big enough brain to do more then rip out the wires and smash their graphics card like a monkey.
All in all, HP is both cheaper then dell in all 'real' fields. Sure dell can sell you a do-nothing computer, but HP will sell you a system that works, and is actually worth buying.
Why post this? Because half of you are too ignorant to know how to turn your computer on... let alone take it to the store to get fixed.

A computer and computer peripherals company. Although the desktops and laptops can have some serious drawbacks, ther accessories (printers, sanners, and the like) are actually worth the money.
On the computer side problems often arise where certain components start to break. The CD/DVD drive has been a very common occurance. There have been claims of the computer making noise form start-up.
If you must by a HP computer makes sure it is a new one and not refurbished as it will be even worse.
