Was gonna say I vaguely remember when HP implied some level of quality

HP was indeed affordable and good. They made good laptops and laser printers for many years.

Strong emphasis. I had an HP laptop in college in 2006. I believe I took good care of it. It freezes one day in the middle of homework, I pull the battery out in frustration. It never turned on again. No idea what I did but it died.

Did you pay for the antifreeze? That's probably why

It pays to have a good antifreeze.
