      HP are on the top of my shitlist. Every day I hear a new reason to keep them there!

      If only life were that simple. Whose laptops am I going to buy?

          And I did. The issue is they put in a QR code for their own $800 500 GB SSD in the bios error message for when your SSD breaks.

          My non-technical friend had no idea it’s an obscene price and may have bought it just to get his laptop working.
