HP's tablet, the PC exodus and their future.

I know last year I was waxing enthusiastic about the tablets coming to the market soon, but as they did I was shocked by the pricing. They were more than a netbook. In many cases double the cost. To say I was disgusted is an understatement

your correct point about marketing in terms of tablets vs netbooks is that apple sell a premium product, and other vendors thought that pricing would allow them to be competitive with a small undercut, to which consumers would rather pay extra to get a premium product.

I hear HP will do well with their service provision and consulting business generating capital. Someone told me they only make 5% on the PC division. It's like IBM in the 90s
