Really? Something like 10 years ago, I worked in IT w/ an HP contract, and people seemed to like the Elitebook line. Everything else was pretty awful though.
10 years ago we used Lenovo. I’ve been using enterprise HPs for about 3 years, and they’re total, flimsy, bloated crap. And, the bloat I’m talking about are the preinstalled HP tools that keep reinstalling every week or so if you uninstall them. I can’t use the mouse, because the crappy flimsy metal case is warped out of the box (and has gotten worse with use) and causes the ill-fitting mouse to stick to the case.
Nah their laptops are shit too. We are forced to use them for work and they have sharp uncomfortable edges everywhere, randomly have the fans on maximum (even when in sleep) and sound like a jet plane taking off.
Wow. That was the only saving grace for them some years back when I talked to our IT people. My current company uses Lenovo and my team uses Apple, so I haven’t touched an HP product for a long time.
Wow. The best thing I’ve heard about HP is that their enterprise laptops aren’t total crap. I haven’t heard a single positive thing about them.
Why buy from them? Choose someone else…
We use them. Believe me, you heard incorrectly. Their enterprise laptops are total, flimsy, bloated crap.

My company just switched from Lenovo to Dell. A downgrade for sure, but I feel like I dodged a bullet.
Didn’t the Elitebook brand move to the separate HPE
Looks like it’s with HP, not HPE. I have no idea if the quality is still there.
My work laptop is fine except for how the Windows key fell off randomly after 6 months.
