I did not know that. Thanks for sharing. However, that comment comes right after this one:
"The corporate PC segment continues to outperform the consumer market as companies replace systems with newer, faster, more efficient computers," Wilkins said.
Since the article doesn't distinguish consumer vs corporate sales, I suspect that they are suggesting the most of HP's computer sales being from the corporate segment, which is not at all surprising. If that's the case, it supports what I said, "HP hasn't been a major player in the consumer PC market for a long time"
Related, and maybe I missed this, but is HP selling off all of their PC division, or just the consumer PC division? If it's everything, has anyone seen any explanation why the company that shipped the most PCs by a decent margin would be looking to leave the market?
