Yup, I was grilling a guy on Rev earlier who got one as a "gift." Coincidentally he got the gift the same day we got our employee pricing initiative.

By all means, take advantage of your employee discount to use a product but to take it and then resell it for profit is just plain stupid, in my opinion.

HP's strategy here is to have employees own their product so they can get a proper feel for it and be able to sell it better. It makes sense to me. As an avid tech guy I'm always buying stuff at work and I'm one of the few people who can actually speak for the product and tell customers how it ACTUALLY works...Rather than simply READING about how it works on the box.
