HP Keeping Their PC Business

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the keeping-the-baby dept.

First time accepted submitter yourlord writes "Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to keep its PC division. So says its newly appointed CEO Meg Whitman. Whitman, the former eBay chieftain, categorically rejected a plan offered up by her predecessor, former CEO Leo Apotheker, to either sell or spin-off this division. HP announced the decision after the close of financial markets today."

    Who cares about such crap? I formatted my HP laptop without even booting the preinstalled copy of Vista.

    In terms of what really matters - the hardware and price - it's a nice machine for what I paid.

  2. Great decision by jgotts · · Score: 3, Insightful

    As I said in an earlier post, HP needs their PC's to get leverage to sell their two strongest product lines, laser printers and inkjet cartridges. I have no use for inkjet cartridges, but every HP laser printer I've owned, from high end to low end, has been an absolutely solid piece of machinery.
