That’s actually not that expensive if it keeps them alive, they are notoriously hell bent on harming themselves
Dude if my parents could have paid 9.99 a month to keep my brother alive it would have saved them tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills.
That kids every existence was antithetical to the concept of safety.
I’m sure they’d love this.HP has happily facilitated occupation, apartheid and genocide for decades. Fuck em straight to hell
Nothing says trustworthy like half a kilometre of disclaimers
$85 a month for a mediocre laptop that I’m probably not allowed to modify in any way? Yeah, nah.
Fuck HP and everything they sell
Companies pivoting to rent seeking is an awful trend.
But it’s people. Corporations are people too remember? The government says so.

This is the start of corporations trying to completely phase out owning your own hardware.
This needs to fail hard or it will spread to every other major vendor. But in this timeline every evil deed seems to succeed and be rewarded. Be sure to hoard your old hardware, you’ll likely need it later.

No, this is just a company that is trying to rename the old leasing concept.

In the enterprise world this is already a thing, companies already lease many devices (pc, laptop, copy machines, cars, phones etc), it not seems to be that much different.
In the private world, if you have the option to keep the laptop at the end the the rent period, you basically paid for the laptop in instalments, which again it nothing really new, it is already used for phones.
In my opinion the only real big problem is if they stop selling the laptop and only allow you to rent them

not only then. also if they make owning prohibitively expensive, or otherwise inaccessible.
The fine print is worse. If you cancel, you owe a fee equal to the rental price for the remainder of the year.
so at this point just buy the damn computer is what i’m taking from this
bill gates level syphilitic abortion of a forced hardware upgrade
Add this to the post of reasons I stopped buying and selling HP.
e machines did this back in the 90’s/00’s to predictably failed results.
Everything old is new again…
“This computer will never go out of date” indeed.
I can’t wait for the the renewal where the price doubles, the speed is limited to protect the battery, the privacy policy changes and they share your browsing data in real time, sell your fingerprints and facial recognition data and give you kne day to renew at the higher price or cancel without penalty like those cocksuckers at Adobe do.
The exec behind that needs to be homeless

Bleak.
Starting at $35 per month you too can rent an AI laptop that will fulfill HP’s every need.
Not so distant future. Subscriptions on premium air… basic air includes toxins. Same for water. The fuckers that created the contamination are the ones selling the subscription. CAPITALISM!
