HP's consumer division certainly is. Their computers are buttgarbage and their printers are outright scams at this point. My understanding though is they make shit like MRI machines....yeah the company is a zombie.
That's probably HPE. The companies split a while back
So they're completely unrelated? I thought it was just a division of hp. I don't know much, but I've heard hpe makes good stuff.
Completely different companies. In 2015 HP became HP Inc keeping consumer products like printers and laptops and HPE split taking servers and business stuff. I assume lap equipment went to HPE as well but couldn't find anything on a quick search.
I'm not even finding HP listed among MRI manufacturers.
According this NYT article from 1999, the medical arm of HP was announced to split off from the printer company 23 years ago.
According to a 90s article I linked deeper in this thread, the medical arm split off from the company in 1999.
