In July 2010, former employees of HP dealers disclosed the inside story of the industry, saying that HP repair machines were sold as new machines, each earning up to 3,000 yuan, and thousands of consumers were fooled. After the news was reported, it caused a strong response. On August 3, Hewlett-Packard issued a statement confirming that Shenzhen Gaohong Hengchang did indeed return to Hewlett-Packard.

At the end of July 2010, a number of media received reports from former employees of Shenzhen Gaohong Hengchang Company, saying that the company even sold the second-hand HP laptops after repair as new machines. On August 3, Hewlett-Packard issued a statement confirming that Shenzhen Gaohong Hengchang did indeed sell the returned HP computers to users in violation of regulations.

The staff of the Beijing Public Relations Headquarters informed the New Express reporter that HP generally treats the repair machines as employees' work machines. But for this statement, whether it is engaged in computer sales or ordinary netizens, said that "impossible." Mr. Luo, a former HP dealer employee, said that HP's return repair machines are hundreds of times each time they arrive, it is impossible to digest them as employees, and have worked for many years on their own, never seeing any employees have a working machine. Netizen "748" questioned, "HP's computer model is updated very quickly. Do these workers change the machine every few months?"

However, netizens' attitude towards the repair machine is not exclusive. Many netizens said that if the dealer can deal with the repair machine at a low price under the condition of telling consumers the details, they will still choose to buy it, after all, the machine has been repaired and the price is low and the warranty can be guaranteed.

Consumers can check the serial number label on the back of the notebook to see if it has been altered or reposted. In addition, you can also use the serial number to check the specific factory time of the notebook through the official website, and whether there is any maintenance records before. In addition, similar to the ThinkPadU tilities program pre-installed on ThinkPad computers, you can view the number of times the laptop's battery has been recharged, and it can also be used to verify whether the notebook is refurbished.
