HP Out of Personal Computer Biz?
http://money.cnn.com/2011/08/18/tech...htm?hpt=te_bn1
You guys hear about this? Doesn't surprise me. Kinda annoyed they'd abandon their customers that purchased the TouchPad.

Kinda flopped like the Microsoft Kin did. Now days, people don't need a full on PC for their day to day tasks. A tablet or even a phone is good enough. My phone can browse the full web just as well as my pc can. My fiance has a LG tab that has replaced her laptop. Shes does not need a PC at all anymore. All the majority of people do online is shop and social media. What do they need a PC for?

True, most people don't really need one anymore.
I ended up getting the Xoom and iPad tablets. I thought I'd like the iPad better but the Xoom's starting to win my vote. Gotta love getting free stuff from work.

Hehe, I've gone to a lot of their re seller seminars where they push their blade servers and thin client solutions. Every single time I come away disappointed.
We prefer Dell servers anyway and blades are freaking expensive.

I run two hp proliant switches at work and they are amazing. Two years now without the smallest issue and they both have a lifetime warranty. I've not been too impressed by their pc's though.

BTW, the TouchPad is on sell in some locations for $99 now. You can pick it up and put Linux or Honeycomb on it if you don't like their OS.
