If HP would sell its notebook division, Samsung would be happy to buy it

It is rumored that the largest notebook manufacturer in the market, Hewlett-Packard is considering selling the division to another company with the ability to assimilate the business, and it seems that Korean Samsung would be more interested in taking it. The information coming from different sources Taiwanese returning to bring out a rumor that began circulating in the last quarter of 2010, but the movement was slow for reasons not known.

As expected, HP does not make any representations on the matter. In addition to Samsung, other major companies would be interested in the notebook division, Lenovo and Hon Hai Precision, also known as Foxconn. Apparently the Koreans are one step ahead of competitors by having a significantly higher economic power.

Although it seems a crazy idea for HP's leadership position, remember that IBM sold its division to Lenovo, and the reality is that not going bad in sales, the American company refocused its business and the change went wrong. Samsung has its eye on any market for consumer electronics that will report profits, and when he wants, dominates it.

In the case of laptops ahead to some companies and the acquisition of the HP could be in the best position. Recently, the Korean company has begun to take seriously some niche markets in the world of laptops, we remind you that the new Series 9 is an alternative in quality and performance (and price) to Apple's MacBook Air, which could consider the "state of the art in the world of laptops.

Since Samsung has wanted to get more strength in the notebook computer business, the customers who supplies components have been reluctant to ask for more production time, so the growth needs of Samsung could move to acquire a company is better positioned. Other media such as Digitimes consider the possibility of occurrence of the sales are slow.

Despite the gains in the last quarter were below expectations, the business is profitable and stable, while continuing to be leaders. Regardless of what happens to the notebook division of Hewlett-Packard, the U.S. company faces a strategy full of changes, you can summarize in the following locations: Route | DigiTimes | Commercial Times (registration) News In Tech Buzz | HP shall webOS on each Windows PC to launch in 2012
