With Spinoff Move, H-P Looks Like IBM in 2005
By WSJ Staff
Is H-P taking a page from rival IBM’s playbook?
If Hewlett-Packard proceeds with a spinoff of its PC business, it may be taking a page from rival IBM.
(snip)
One of the IBM creators of the first PC said in a blog post last week that the PC is essentially dead, going the way of the typewriter and incandescent light bulbs.
Hey, dumbshit! The PC is not dead, and incandescent light bulbs will be with us for a long time!
THIS, from a computer whiz-bang! (http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2011/08/18/with-spinoff-move-h-p-looks-like-ibm-in-2005/)

People say sh*t like this so, when the PC finally is dead, they can say: "see I predicted that 28 years ago! I was on the cutting edge!"

Well if they're smart they will start to build ones like the Dell Workstations, cause modeling isn't going anywhere

I do all my modelling on a laptop. Dell, of course. Only in the past few months have the modeling software(s) I have started to catch up with the capabilities of 2-year old hardware, and I can stave off the majority of that by upgrading the RAM.

I don't think anyone can disagree that for the average person the PC is dying. It makes no sense to buy a desktop PC unless you have something special you need it for.
The PC will eventually die, it's inevitable that something better will replace it.

There are still a lot of PC gamers out there, and until tablets or whatever can handle the games, PCs will be around.

In any case, I wouldn't buy an HP computer.
