Really? Something like 10 years ago, I worked in IT w/ an HP contract, and people seemed to like the Elitebook line. Everything else was pretty awful though.
10 years ago we used Lenovo. I’ve been using enterprise HPs for about 3 years, and they’re total, flimsy, bloated crap. And, the bloat I’m talking about are the preinstalled HP tools that keep reinstalling every week or so if you uninstall them. I can’t use the mouse, because the crappy flimsy metal case is warped out of the box (and has gotten worse with use) and causes the ill-fitting mouse to stick to the case.

You don’t have a standard image from your IT dept?

What model? Is it their enterprise line, or are you using the cheap consumer line?
