Hello,
this is a bit unconventional question for the forums, as it is very general.
In my personal experience the HP desktop PC's are better than equivalent or better desktop PC's bought from no-brand vendors. The performance and reliability of HP products are superior, but so is the price.
The problem is, that on paper an average PC bought from non brand vendor has better specifications of hardware equipment and lower price.
My question is: how does HP defend the higher price of their products. I would like to know if there are any standards or certificates that HP uses during the manufacturing or designing of brand PC's. Are the computres subjected to any performance / component compatibility tests during or before manufacturing, to ensure that the components are in accordance with each other.
Thanks for answering!
