Acer travelmate 4070. Used as a control unit for a cut and bend machine. (Don’t ask me why)… Holy shit that bastard has outlived around three of the machines that began work with it.
What I’m saying is. Acer was good. But like all things enshittification ruined it.
HP though… I don’t think I’ve ever seen a good hp. Even the ancient ones.
I feel like the only HP stuff that saves itself are calculators and some of the old testing equipment
Years ago they were great, then they were shit, then they were good again for a short while.
I wouldn’t touch 'em today, but I’m a laptop snob and only go for the pro lines in Dell or Lenovo anymore. I have friends who spec systems for companies, and those have the least issues and are more maintainable than others.
Take apart some laptops, and you’ll come to appreciate the pro lines from Dell and Lenovo. I inherited an HP laptop, it was challenging to open without breaking stuff, and little is replaceable - the opposite of my Dell and Lenovos.

HP has been up and down.
