    Thinking about getting the HP Compaq 2230s but curious about in general bloatware on buisness notebooks compared to Home & Home Office notebooks.

    Correct, HP business class notebooks and desktops come with NO bloatware.

    If there is anything extra they will add it as a Start Menu option. Like "install HP Apps" or "Application Installation".

    I did see an article last year where big name OEM's where going to start offering Consumer brand hardware with no bloatware as well. But I have not seen any reports of this yet.
