Predictably, the rumors that we share in yesterday on the sale of the Division of HP computers have had an impact, that did not expect is that the American company answered, as well as he has done.

HP he has addressed directly to the Taiwanese environment which resulted in the information, Commercial Times, stating that they've had irresponsible behaviour. Then the original statement:

"Irresponsible reporting by Taiwan's Commercial Times, suggesting that HP might sell its PC business, should be dismissed as market rumor and speculation." "HP runs the world's largest PC business and it is core to HP's strategy for the connected world."

It is usual in the releases of HP, but ends with a copyright, it is necessary in a press release?, that invites to think that things can change without prior notice:

"© 2011 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice." "HP shall not be liable for technical or editorial errors or omissions contained herein."

We must give validity to commercial Times, although us sounds for unknown, is a source that Digitimes (for us reliable) is often used. I find it difficult to think that invent a story in which there are involved players such as HP, Samsung, Lenovo and Foxconn.

In the past year financial results have not been as positive as they expected, and I would like to know how much money is really gained by each computer, because I believe that prices are more reasonable than it seems, is the hardware a future business for HP?. We have the precedent of IBM, which in turn transferred its computer Division to Lenovo, but the case is somewhat different as IBM revenues did not depend on both the hardware.

Honestly I see very complicated the possibility of sale, although HP is in time of changes and restructuring, they show that the business is profitable and are market leaders. Moreover, prospective buyers should be a large investment.

If HP had not replied, giving importance to the Taiwanese media, it would have fewer doubts about this, but there is something in the forms of the statement that is making me think that they want to sell. Time will tell... do opinions? on the response of HP.
