Despite their shares being down 24%, after they announced their dramatic exit from the tablet market and their pending exit from the PC market, Hewlett Packard has all of a sudden rolled out a new desktop computer that can deliver 40% better performance than most other PCs.H-P said the latest all-in-one Elite business model is energy efficent, can deliver up to 15% faster hard-drive access, 40% better performance and less downtime as a result of remote information-technology management capacity.
The PC has built in face-to-face communications and online conference centre capabilities.
The Wall Street Journal said Thursday’s announcement regarding H-P’s exit highlighted how growth has pivoted from computer to mobile tablets and phones, where H-P has largely failed to compete.
Even without its PC unit, H-P would be one of the world’s largest tech companies. The company also would remain one of the largest makers of server, networking and data-storage systems, as well as the world’s biggest printer company.
