I've loved HP Printers but I try to buy Brother printers and have avoided HP computers since Carly Fiorina years ago and her contempt for the American IT worker and her pro-outsourcing position...or at least that's how I saw it.
That said...I do love my foreign brothers/sisters and have worked with several over the years and they've been wonderful. No animosity to the people at all.

Can you elaborate on your resistance to HP and Lenovo? The last few Lenovos that I have had the opportunity to work with have been slick units.
I have boycotted all HP products since they adopted their policy, many years ago, of deliberately breaking perfectly good printers (as well as not-empty ink cartridges) after some period of time in order to force people to buy new ones. I had already read about this policy in several places on the single day when six HP inkjet printers of the same exact model, which I had bought all on the same day at the same place, all suddenly had mechanical failures.
I've never bought a Lenovo machine, but their little rootkit episode a few years back convinced me that they are not to be trusted.
