      I don’t think that’s fair. Plenty of people in this world do not know much about computers or the internet or anything in that area and just need a printer. So they go to their local big box store and there’s the HP printers and they’re a good deal, so they buy them.

      Consumers do not get what they deserve when companies treat them like shit just because they don’t have certain knowledge.

        I fucking hate tech elitism. There’s a difference between refusing to learn to use a browser and learning the ins and outs of hundreds of different computer companies. Dell isn’t really any better and those are the two main ones in a lot of stores.

        People act like knowledge is inherit, It is not. It is earned through learning.

          Julie they conduct minimum research that will come across articles telling them not to buy HP.
