For cars, maybe, but my org has had a long line of HP laptops with swollen battery packs within a year of use. No doubt there are companies out there that would rather have the extra hour of runtime on some journalists review fact sheet than a battery that doesn't put their customers at risk.
- eitland 5y agoI hope all those gets replaced under warranty? I hounded Dell for months and got them to replace I guess 2 or 3 dozens of Optiplex DL270 motherboards and it felt good: forcing them to take the cost for their shoddy work.
- stefan_ 5y agoThey do but in the meantime you got a laptop that only works off AC.
- eitland 5y agoSad to hear. The times I had an issue with an HP business laptop I called them and either a technician came to my office and replaced the part (a screen in that case) or they sent a spare after confirming I was capable to change it myself.
- HPsquared 5y agoThere's another side as well though - a failing battery will stop working unpredictably, which is also very bad for business/productivity.
