I think it HAS! A 3D CG buddy of mine has a Massive Brick of a laptop -
an HP - and he swears by it!

Oh, and then there was that Compaq desktop system I bought back in the
early 90's.
My son used to live a couple of miles from where Compaq started, just
outside Houston. The parents of several of his high-school friends
worked at Compaq. I always thought they were spiffykeeno, until I had
hardware problems out of warranty and discovered that "if it ain't
proprietary, it don't go in there." I've never had much respect for
hardware companies that bent over backwards to make sure you had to buy
replacement parts (out of warranty) from them. Dunno if they still
do...wouldn't surprise me.
I guess I would trace my hatred of them back to the 90s, and although
I think Carly Fiorina should rot in hell, it's not fair to hold her bs
comments against HP/Compaq. After all, Walter Hewlett hated her too
and wanted her fired (which eventually she was). My dad had a HP
desktop back in the 90s iirc and it wasn't so great. But...the
reviews I've been reading lately make me think that perhaps the
quality has improved.
