Hewlett-Packard Reviews, Ratings, and Pricing

Hewlett-Packard (NASDAQ: HPQ) is a global enterprise with nearly 325,000 employees. As of 2011, it was the number-one computer manufacturer in the world and also makes monitors, printers, and enterprise software. The company was founded in a Palo Alto garage in 1939 by Bill Hewlett and David Packard. HP’s first product was an audio oscillator, an electronic test instrument built for sound engineers. (Walt Disney, one of HP’s first customers, purchased eight of these instruments to develop and test a sound system for the movie Fantasia.)

Since then, HP has built its brand both on its innovative products and through its reputation as an inspiring company for which to work. “Dave’s 11 simple rules,” chronicling David Packard’s work philosophy, includes such rules as “Respect the other man’s personality rights,” “Eliminate the negative,” and “Develop genuine interest in people.”

The first HP computer was developed in 1966, and the company went on to develop calculators beginning in 1972, the first touch-screen PC in 1983, the HP LaserJet printer in 1984, and much more. The company has also played a major role in hardware recycling. Its headquarters are in Palo Alto, Calif.

Reviews: Hewlett-Packard Laptops

December 21, 2016HP EliteBook 1040 G3

It turns opaque to onlookers at the touch of a button, but the innovative display of HP's new business notebook is its greatest drawback as well as its niftiest feature.

Pricing From $1,949

November 9, 2016HP Spectre x360 (2016)

With "Kaby Lake," thinner bezels, and 14-hour battery life, HP's 13.3-inch showpiece continues to be a formidable rival to other 2-in-1's and non-convertible ultrabooks alike.

Pricing From $1,299

October 17, 2016HP Omen 17

A rare component-by-component value among "Pascal" laptops, the Omen 17 is aggressively priced and swift. We'd like to see just two key things tweaked.

Pricing From $1,799 (mfr. est., as tested)

September 19, 2016HP Notebook 15 (BA010nr)

This just-the-basics AMD E2-based notebook is a price play that gets the job done—barely—but like-priced models (even in the same HP line) are better values.

Pricing From $379.99 (MSRP, as tested)

August 17, 2016HP Chromebook 13

Elite and aluminum-bound, HP's Chromebook 13, tested in a Core m5 $800 version, is a design winner and outperforms many of its competitors. But HP's cheaper versions of it are a better value.

Pricing From $819 (as tested)

Reviews: Hewlett-Packard Desktops

September 16, 2016HP All-in-One Desktop 20-c010

A study in minimalism among all-in-one PCs, this $349 model is made for Web surfing and light office work, decked out in keeping with its rock-bottom price.

Pricing From $349.99 (mfr. est., as tested)

March 25, 2016HP Envy 34 Curved All-in-One

No, it's not a curved HDTV set—it's HP's flagship all-in-one desktop, with a luxurious 34-inch display, plus ample power, storage, and audio.

Pricing From $1,949

December 11, 2015HP Pavilion 23 Touch All-in-One (2015)

Inspired by Apple’s iMac, HP’s newest all-in-one trades an aluminum frame and faster performance for a much lower price. It's a fine trade-off for light- to medium-duty computing.

Pricing From $749.99 (direct, as tested)

December 10, 2015HP Envy Phoenix 860st

With powerful components, quiet operation, and a slick case with built-in color-changing lights, this Phoenix is the best gaming rig we've seen from HP in years. It's pricey in our review configuration, but unless 4K gaming's your thing, you can configure one much lower.

Pricing From $2,200 (direct)

February 26, 2015HP Pavilion Mini

Though it looks more like a streaming box than a desktop, the HP Pavilion Mini offers more full-fledged PC goodness than you'll get from a Roku or Chromebox. But as with all things, the added functionality comes at a price.

Pricing From $449

Reviews: Hewlett-Packard Printers

December 2, 2016HP Officejet Pro 8210

This print-only color inkjet delivers decent text output and ink costs for business documents—if you shop carefully for the ink tanks.

Pricing From $129.99 (MSRP)

September 12, 2016HP Officejet 250 Mobile All in One

This long-overdue replacement for the Officejet 150 prints, copies, and scans like a full-size model. It's a truly mobile all-in-one inkjet for light tasks.

Pricing From $349.99 (MSRP)

August 3, 2016HP Officejet 200 Mobile Printer

HP's long-overdue upgrade to the Officejet Mobile churns sharp documents and photos at respectable speeds. The ink is pricey, but this is still today’s overall best mobile inkjet.

Pricing From $199.99 (MSRP)

July 7, 2016HP PageWide Pro 552dw Printer

HP's second-generation, print-only PageWide inkjet is fast, the quality is exceptional, and the cost per page is very low (with the right ink tanks). Our only real quibble is with the initial purchase price.

Pricing From $699.99 (MSRP)

May 13, 2016HP Color LaserJet Pro M452dw

This single-function LaserJet is fast and prints well, but the pricing of the printer itself and its four toners reduces its appeal for all but the lightest-printing offices.

Pricing From $499.99 (MSRP)

Reviews: Hewlett-Packard Tablets

May 23, 2016HP Elite x2 G1 (1012)

A business-minded Surface Pro competitor, the Elite x2 G1 is a snazzy-looking, surprisingly snappy Core M 2-in-1. It's only held back by the pricing in its higher-than-basic configurations.

Pricing From $1,349 (direct, as tested)

November 25, 2015HP Spectre x2

A tablet with kickstand and keyboard cover? Before you say Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (and put "optional" in front of "keyboard cover"), check out HP's new laptop alternative.

Pricing From $1,149

October 2, 2015HP Pro Slate 8

HP’s latest Android-based business slate sports a nice iPad-Mini-like screen and an attractive design. But its ultrasonic pen-based note-taking tech feels over-engineered and more than a little undercooked.

Pricing From $469 (direct, as tested)

September 19, 2013HP SlateBook 10 x2

HP’s second foray into Android tablets is a Tegra 4 screamer with a wealth of features, including a decent keyboard dock. Only a lackluster screen dampens our enthusiasm.

Pricing From $479.99

July 11, 2013HP Slate 7

HP’s first Android tablet is a well-built, strong-performing 7-incher that's a decent value for first-time buyers or as a second slate for tablet veterans. Mind, though, the relatively low-res screen.

Pricing From $169.99 (8GB version); $199.99 (16GB version)
