HP actually has a brilliant business strategy.

  1. First get a huge customer base via cheap ass product

  2. Remove the customers who care about quality

  3. Remove the customers who care about reliability

  4. Remove the customers who care about price

  5. Remove the customers who pay attention to their monthly bills

voila, you have like 3 people left who you can charge infinite money for a lump of shit. Infinite profit margins
