That’s my experience as well. Everyone absolutely hates HP laptops, for good reason, but I don’t think I’ve heard many people complain about the ProBook line unless their employees bought them the barebones i3 version.
Same is true with a lot more companies as well. Lenovo makes some terrible plastic waste with allegedly a computer inside, but some great Thinkpads that will last a decade of punishment.
I think there’s a pretty direct correlation between companies that everyone thinks are bad and companies that make cheap models. It’s probably why the general public likes Apple so much; of course you’ll have a great laptop when you spend 1500 dollars on it, they simply don’t make devices cheap enough that you would hate.
Meanwhile Acer is out there with their barely functional laptops containing chips not powerful enough to play Youtube videos yet power hungry enough to overheat, for prices lower than a week’s groceries. I’m sure their top of the line models are pretty good too, if they even make those, but everyone knows them for their cheap hardware.
