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.

It is rumored that market, hewlett-packard, largest manufacturer of portable would be considering selling the Division to another company with the capacity to assimilate the business, and it seems that the Korean Samsung would be the more interested in doing with it.

The information coming from different Taiwanese sources, returning to bring out a rumor that began circulating in the last quarter of 2010, but the movement was paused for reasons that are not known. As expected, HP does not make statements on the matter.

Besides Samsung, other major companies would be interested in the Division of portable: Lenovo and Hon Hai Precision, better known as Foxconn. Apparently the Koreans are one step ahead of the competitors to have a significantly higher economic power.

Although it seems an idea crazy by the leading position of HP, remember IBM sold its Division to Lenovo, and the reality is that not going bad in sales, the American company refocused its business and change not went wrong.

Samsung has an eye to any market of consumer electronics that benefits him, and when it is proposed, dominates it. In the case of laptops has ahead to some companies, and the acquisition of the Division of HP could put it in a better position.

The Korean company has recently begun to take seriously some niche markets in the world of laptops, we remind you that the new Series 9 represents an alternative for quality and performance (and price) to the macbook air from Applethat we might consider the "state of the art" or technology in the world of laptops.

Since the Samsung wanted to enter the business of laptops with more force, customers who provides components have shown reluctant in seeking more production, so the needs of growth of Samsung could pass by acquiring a company better positioned.

Other means such as Digitimes considered that the possibility of the sale from occurring is low. While the benefits in the last quarter were lower than expected, the business is profitable and stable, as well as continue to be leaders.

Regardless of what happens with the Division of notebook of Hewlett-Packard, the American company has a strategy full of changes, you can be summarised in the following points:

The intentions of HP them is making public its CEO Leo Apotheker, in the different events in which participates or organizes, wants to focus on the company to mobile devices, their interconnection, and the creation of software, without leaving aside logically one of their main business, computers.

Another way in which it is working is the heir of the not yet commercialized TouchPad HP, HP wants that the next tablet is something more geared to the business market, and thus being able to eat a field which has been tentatively explored Apple, and it is that in the cake of the tablets remains much spread.
