I've had good luck with the HP workstation (hp z series) class stuff for desktops. but the mid/low end business hasn't been great. the Dell Laptops always break we just decided that was a cost of using laptops and limited laptops down to people that really needed them got and didn't worry about it.
I've dealt with less than a dozen Z series HPs, but every one was very good.
We've mostly used HP commercial, lower cost desktops and they've been outstanding. The D325, dx5150, dc5750 and dc5850 were our standards for over a decade and they were all amazing. Low cost and insanely rock solid. Of all of those, the d325 getting really hot was the only minor issue at all, and they never broke, just got hot.
-
And we used those all in leased fleets, so we were averaging over a decade of service from every machine! Really solid.

Doesn't sound like an issue. just sounds like it had a P4. Intel just made a space heater.
-
@thecreativeone91 yeah anything with a P4HT was just obnoxious. We had USFF desktops in a plant full of ceramic dust. They averaged 6mths before melting/popping caps/general badness

It is SO windy here!!

Nope, we didn't use Intel machines. It was an Athlon XP platform. The D320 was the same chassis with the P4.

There is laundry up and @dominica came up on the terrace and got towel whipped in the face!!

My MacBook Pro just slid across the table.

Trying to get a new one?
Mine did all the time because the feet weren't grippy enough and aluminum is slick.

ALmost did. @dominica had a big bottle of water and sat it directly next to my laptop - I moved it 30 seconds before it blew over and would have been all over my laptop keyboard!

I just got hit by flying bread.

Flying Bread you say? Do you randomly find it throughout the house in varying states of toasted-ness?
For those that don't get it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_am_Bread)
-
And the bread is gone. No more bread for us.

Wow, just, wow. They used to filter out the non-IT pros. Guess that's not going on so much anymore. Linux is 5% of the market? Ha.

They deleted some of mine as irreverent but left the people smack talking.
