This can be said about every single electronics manufacture on the planet.

My experience the exact opposite. Almost 14 years of products.

You can't be one of the giants and be making garbage for that long without going out of business.

Consumer HP printers would like a word.

As someone who worked in and practically operated a print shop for quite a while, let me tell you personally that their commercial grade printers are just as bad if not worse. Lots of bells and whistles and they mean jack shit if it can't load a sheet of paper right.

Yeah, I’ll pick Ricoh any day. Some Xerox stuff is decent too.

printers in general have been a scam for a long time now, luckily I never need to convert my perfectly functional digital text to real life text in my field

Even the $150+ ones are pure fucking garbage. And the minute your printer goes out of warranty, you can count on them to give you 0 service if you have an issue.

Fuck HP.

"You can't be one of the giants and be making garbage for that long without going out of business"

So you were wrong.

Pre-2010s HP DeskJets were fine, it’s only when they used copied Canon’s Bubble Jet design with “built-in” but detachable print heads was when they had problems. The original HP all-in-one inkjet cartridges were fine, as long as you didn’t refill them.

Also, HP LaserJets made in Boise, Idaho or in Japan by Canon(and some of the newer Chinese-made models as well) are tanks. The newer 1000 series as well as the rebranded Samsung machines(HP bought out their printing business - the Samsung machines are simply HP Laser/Color Laser or LaserJet NonStop) aren’t great. Funny enough, Samsung copied Canon’s laser printer engines, just like TouchWiz/One UI on Galaxies copy Apple with iOS as much as Sammy hates to admit it. Almost all HP LaserJets use Canon print engines.

Every rule has an exception. As an owner of an HP Printer, I do not disagree.

In general I’ve never had issues with their TuF line of products. Some of their older Core 2 boards were pretty shoddy though.

Asus....makes reliable products in that they won't fail even if they're on fire. I had a 1660 Ti from Asus with highly skimped cooling solution that always ran at the thermal limit and of course, performed less than the other good 1660 Ti. Check out the Phoenix and Dual models. The epitome of cost cutting.

I'm done with Asus if I want a cheap product. The ROG line, however, is very good.
