What are some tricks of the trade to not get swindled from shady car salesmen. I understand not all are shady and I know they are in the business to make money as well but I know the mark-up can be pretty significant on cars. Thanks for doing the AMA!!

Thanks for doing the AMA. I'm an HP rep hired through a 3rd party to help promote the product in Best Buy, Staples, etc. What is the reaction throughout the company when certain products don't sell as well as they'd have hoped to? For example, the Top Shot printer, E-station printer, the Tx-2 laptop from a few years ago?? Products that are pretty innovative but are obviously not popular with the majority of consumers.

I am really hoping the Envy X2 does well. We received several trainings around it along with Windows 8. I think it's an awesome product, I just wish it came out before the holidays. I think it would have sold better but I know the reasonings why they didn't. The Envy X2 has been out in my stores for a couple of weeks now and it has been a little difficult to sell, especially when you have a Samsung tablet/pc right next to it for $80 cheaper with extremely similar specs. Good thing for HP is that I believe Samsung is in a copyright dispute and are on a freeze for selling them. So your right about the price. I don't think the economy has gotten to the point where consumers are willing to fork out $700, $800, $900 for a laptop. The Envy 4 ultrabook has been really difficult to sell but I do my best to point out why HP is above the rest. I enjoy working for the company and I love to see what they will come out with next. The E-print function has been a huge success and the fact that they are so compatible with Apple products has been wonderful. Thanks again for answering our questions and just know you have faithful employees working to make the company successful!
