The quality of HP products appears to have gone downhill. They had a perfect reputation but the last HP Envy laptop I bought about 1 year ago had lots of problems and it kept overheating to the point that I couldn't even touch the underside of it. The fan was quite loud too. After only 7 months, the hard drive failed completely.

It had so many obvious problems, it felt like nobody had actually tried using the machine in real life.

I don't think I'll buy HP again. I've lost faith in the brand.

My current laptop is a Dell and it's a huge improvement.

HP is pretty much three brands. Business HP, “Prosumer” HP and Consumer HP.

The first too are quite good, the last has never been great. (The Spectre x360 is great, the Envy x360... not so much)

Their printers have been terrible for a long time. Just the driver issues alone are a horror story.
