Cheap <any brand> consumer grade laptops are always trashy. Even among those, HP, Acer and others can be way worse just because of lesser parts availability and worse customer support.
I think the consensus is HP takes the cake for worst budget laptops. Like they’re all not great and I’d rather buy a used high end laptop than a brand new low end one for the same price, but with the tech support stories I’ve heard about HP, yeah.
