Ha ha, practically? She did. Keysight is what’s left of the original HP.

HP is now known for garbage computers and shitty printers.

And the ironic part of that is that the original HP was spun-off two times (at first Agilent, then Keysight).

I feel that they're getting their legs back under their consumer division, although I agree their laptops have been really mediocre.

However I have enjoyed using their enterprise workstations for the last 10 years are so (various models of Z4xx's) and haven't had any complaints.

I've had good experiences with their EliteBook lines. Solid machines, if you are closer to the rugged notebook vs thin trophy book on the scale of laptop thickness.

They try forcing the Z series on me at work. I have bought Microway workstations. Much better bang for the buck, and better build quality.

The Bestec PSUs were often the weakest link - and a non-standard size (and wiring ISTR) so you couldn't replace them with just anything.

And calculators...?

The new calculators are abominations, with the exception of the 35s. I use those at work, so I didn’t have to break the seal on a 32Sii; the precious.

I have an HP Prime. I use it daily. It’s CAS isn’t exactly Mathematica-grade but it’s perfectly adequate for my daily purposes.
