HP, Dell could swoop in if IBM sells PC business | |
|
||
| Time: 14:10 EST/19:10 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||
Thanks jdhawk....IBM, which ushered in the personal-computer era that fueled the rise of technology giants Intel and Microsoft, reportedly is in talks to sell off what remains of its PC business. Such a sale could provide a temporary boom in business for rivals such as Hewlett-Packard and Dell as they swoop in to snare confused IBM customers. On Friday, the New York Times reported that Big Blue is in talks with Lenovo, China's largest personal-computer maker, and one other party, to sell its PC business for $1 billion to $2 billion. | ||

"talks to sell off what remains of its PC business"
This statement makes it sound like IBM has faded to nothingness. That's far from the truth. The ThinkPad is the #1 Laptop in business, and for good reason. What is going to matter, if this sale goes through, is how the new owner handles service and support. |
