Question Hewlett Packard not providing long term support and providing replacement parts

[Winterson]

I purchased a Hewlett Packard Z4 tower computer in 2020 and when I checked to find a replacement for the front fan the HP part had been discontinued. A fan failure is not unusual and I would expect HP to maintain an inventory if only to support repairs for computers with a service agreement.

HP gave me a discount on a new printer when they decided to end support on the one I had that was still covered by a service agreement. Next workstation computer will be from Lenovo.

You should be able to find the fan via 3rd parties if you have the part number.

HP is very difficult to get end of support dates, they don't publish much.
