    HP Launches FaceBook Quiz to Help Consumers Find a Computer
    [​IMG]
    HP has launched a FaceBook quiz app to help consumers find the right computer. It asks a series of questions seemingly unrelated to notebooks and comes up with a match ... which is always the HP ProBook 5310m. Tell us 'who' you were matched up with in the forums.

    So it's less of a Jung Myers-Briggs quiz and more of the notebook equivalent of a Which Star Wars character are you? quiz...

    There is also an offer for a free Professional Messenger Bag or Designer Tote with purchase on the results page of the quiz. I was matched with "the Diva"

    I think in order to test if the HP Quiz is really broke you should all go take the Star Wars Character quiz.

    If you all get results saying your a clone of Jango Fett then we know why the HP ProBook 5310m keeps coming up for everyone and that there's nothing wrong with HP's quiz. ;þ
