Just like Rolls Royce (jet engines) and Rolls Royce Motor (automotive) haven't had anything to do with each other since the 70s.

HP used to be called something else. Started with an A. They made the spinoff company for reasons I can't recall. It didn't work out too well. So IIRC they renamed it to HP, while Hewlett-Packard went on to do corporate/government stuff. HP is the one that makes all the laptops, PCs, and printers you know and love to hate. Though, I heard their laptops were good. Still went with Asus for my previous laptop and last Windows laptop. Happy MacBook Air user now, as I always should have been. Windows laptops never made any sense to me, but they were familiar so I bought a few of them over the years until I learned better. (Should have at least put Linux on them. Oh well, you live and learn.) But the Asus outspec'd the HP in many ways, it was just uglier (plum shell with gold hinges, ugh... vs silver and chrome... now I got a "Midnight" (dark blue in some light, black in others) MBA).
