"The PC industry is under pressure from hot-selling smartphones and tablet computers, which have contributed to already weak consumer demand for PCs in the U.S. and Europe."

So that says something about the quality of HP smartphones and tablets if they're also for sale.

I like HP. Too bad it a board ruled company that doesn't seem to know how to pick a good CEO. The part of HP that I like is the part that they got from Compac...the Digital Equipment part. Like their standardizing printing with PCL but never liked the way their printers look. Ugly but works fine and is a standard. For a company headquartered in Palo Alto of Silicone Valley fame, they not very creative. It seem a bit nuts for they to try and become a software company. Similar for Dell to try and become a support company...they have lousy support.

IBM and Apple are the winners.

Sad news, as I've got an HP thin and light notebook and it rocks. Has a 92% size keyboard in a slim 1-kilogram package and half of the price of a Mac. Seems a waste just to throw such manufacturing and engineering prowess away. No wonder American industry is facing inevitable decline and letting China take over.

I'm currently staring at a less-than-one-year-old Compaq laptop that has been awating service by an HP technician... for three months now. If you ask me, they ALREADY gave up on their PC division.
