I believe the answer you seek is “NO”. I cannot recall a single innovation from anything other than their marketing department for at least the past 20 years.
Comment on HP wants you to pay up to $36/month to rent a printer that it monitors

Does HP have anything good about them left? I feel that they are a tarnished brand, mainly due to their printer shenanigans.

I think if they did not have user-hostile printers, the brand would have been semi-ok.

The only area where their reputation is strong is business tech support sector. Laptops are also doing well, but it’s a small market in comparison.

I had a HP laptop in the past. When I brought my laptop for repair, they costed it so high as they say they need to replace the motherboard. The issue was the nvidia card that is causing overheats.
I declined as the price of repair is almost the price of a new laptop. This was an official HP service center. It made me swore off HP laptops even if they look really nice.

Almost all brands nowadays are just trademarks with vague marketing around them. There’s no point in buying something for the brand. Always look into the specific product or service they are buy. Even brands that start as cult brands like One Plus eventually grow to be just another name. Nokia these days is literally just a name that has changed hands a few times.
