Hewlett-Packard Company

"Hey guys, we're kind of dumb, so we're going back to school to learn some stuff from our sexy YouTube friends, and we partnered with HP, who have given us their latest tech to make sure we don't fail."

The Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) was an American multinational information technology company headquartered in Palo Alto, California. Founded in a one-car garage in Pal Alto by American engineers and, it initially produced electronic test and measurement equipment before getting its first big contract in 1938, providing such equipment for the production of Disney's film  (1940), leading the co-founders to formally establish the company in 1939. It grew into a multinational corporation widely respected for its products and management style and was the world's leading PC manufacture from 2007 to 2013, specializing in developing and manufacturing computing, data storage, and networking hardware, designing software and delivering services. Major product lines included personal computers, enterprise and industry standard servers, related storage devices, networking products, software, and a wide range of printers and other imaging products.

In 1999, HP split into two companies: one retaining the original company name and the other named. The first product line, test and measurement equipment, went to Agilent Technologies, while HP focused on later products like computers and printers. In 2015, HP was again split into two separate companies: spun off its enterprise products and services business; meanwhile, Hewlett-Packard was reorganized into  and held onto the PC and printer businesses.

Prior to its split, HP was an occasional sponsor on Smosh 2nd Channel, having sponsored three episodes of Smosh is Bored in August 2015. The episodes comprised a miniseries, Smosh is Bored Special (at School), and promoted the company's laptop model HP Pavilion x360.
