ADC Laptops

One of the most established names in technology is HP, which stands for Hewlett-Packard. Based in California, the company was founded out of a garage in 1939. The original investment for the company was $538, and in 2007, the revenue reached $104 billion. Not only is this an almost unfathomable amount of money, but it also marked an important milestone for any IT company. They were the first to report revenue which exceeded $100 billion.

The company has done so well in part because of their reputation and in part because of their diverse product line. In terms of the latter, HP offers everything from an HP Touchsmart laptop to an HP digital camera. They are also particularly well known for their printers, scanners, televisions, and more. In addition to this wide range of products, they have also built a name for themselves by using the “HP Way” style of management. This is marked by respect for the company employees, and that ideology has carried over to the customer as well.

Unlike many of my friends, I have very little interest in playing computer games. While many of them have customized their own desktops by adding fans and special graphics cards to the mix, I much prefer being outside or reading a good novel. On the other hand, I do enjoy downloading music and listening to it on my laptop. I must also confess to a weakness for watching DVDs on a 16-inch laptop screen.

So, when my old laptop finally crapped out after three years of wear and tear, I wasn’t sure where to turn. It seemed that most of the high-end computers in stores were geared toward gaming geeks and professionals rather than a casual computer user such as myself. All I really needed from the device was an easy way to surf the Web, play music and watch movies. The Compaq Presario met all those needs without tacking on unnecessary extras and the inflated price tag that goes with them.
