HP de-branded products are typically cheaper than new brand name models.
HP de-branded refers to equipment produced by Hewlett Packard that is sold without any corporate markings or proprietary software. HP de-branded products include a variety of products but generally refers to a desktop or laptop computer.
Computers
De-branded HP computers can include desktop or laptop models. These computers have had the HP corporate logo replaced with another generic label. These computers are sold without the proprietary software that is sold with HP computers. Many HP de-branded computers are also factory recertified or refurbished items.
Monitors
De-branded computer monitors made by HP are similar to their brand name counterparts. Although de-branded HP monitors frequently include the items necessary to use the monitor -- cables and a stand -- they do not include any software or a manual.
Drawbacks
Many HP de-branded computers are also used, factory recertified or refurbished items. De-branded HP products are not supported by the manufacturer. Any warranty, customer support or guarantees provided for a de-branded HP monitor or computer are supplied by the merchant or the company that de-branded the item.
