It’s a shame, their small form-factor business notebooks were once really good. Swappable batteries, worked well with Linux (apart from the touchpad drivers that were just bad for all brands back then).

Their servers always seemed pretty nice back in the day, though I don't have any experience since the HPE spin-off.
When I was a tech I hated their servers so much. It was super easy to damage them when taking them apart, and their raid controllers would cause dban to crash. I did liked the Z400 workstation, though, since it could secure erase drives without having to go to sleep to unfreeze the drives.
HPE stuff is fine imo, networking stuff is decent and the servers still have some quirks from the HP days but other than that are great.
