New CEO Meg Whitman hasn't been on the job for too long, and already she's setting things right with the world's largest computer manufacturer. HP has just announced that it will continue to keep producing computers, and will NOT be selling the division off or otherwise divesting it. ยป Read Article
Say what you will about HP, but they're good at keeping their spot at the top of the worldwide PC manufacturer rankings. Until recently, Dell had been pretty good at keeping the number two spot - but thanks to Lenovo, that's changed. According to figures from both IDC and Gartner, Lenovo now holds the number 2 spot on the list, just behind HP, and just ahead of Dell.
Intel's top exec took the stage at Dell World to talk about fast computers, fast processors and how he sees developments in computing architecture evolving over the next 15 years - jumping from terraflops to zettaflops.
At Dell World 2011 in Austin this week, company founder and CEO Michael Dell has been stumping on Dell's strengths and futures. After all, what good is hosting your own little conference if you can't do some cheerleading? When asked about Lenovo's plans to take over the second place position in the world PC market, Dell didn't hold back.
Computer manufacturers are churning out all-in-one updates left and right, but Dell has remained silent. That silence was recently broken thanks to the introduction of the Dell Inspiron One 2320, a new 23-inch update to Dell's all-in-one lineup. The Inspiron One 2320 includes Blu-ray, lots of storage, and a gorgeous HD display.
Buffalo Technology, world market leader in consumer NAS (network-attached storage), plans to continue producing low-cost, high-powered storage for home offices. Yet new TeraStation Pro products -- the company's first line-up for both Linux and Windows -- signal further expansion into SMBs, said Brian Verenkoff, a top company executive.
After the markets close this afternoon, HP is expected to announce two things. One: completion of a rumored $10 billion acquisition of database developer Autonomy Corporation. Two: the stunning announcement that it is spinning off its PC business into a new, entirely separate company.
As we've seen today, Dell isn't sitting still when it comes to displays. As one of the most popular monitor manufacturers today, the company has a product at every price point - which is why the 21.5-inch ST2220LB, with its $100 gift card, is our Deal of the Week.
It wasn't long ago that HP introduced its own pair of ultra-skinny, ultra-svelte displays to the tech world. The build quality is solid, with a sleek, attractive design and a horizontal profile so slim its unreal. That clearly struck a chord with Dell, whose new S2330MX display looks to be even thinner.
It's not the first time Dell has accidentally leaked product information by placing a future gadget's support docs on the website a bit ahead of launch, but Round Rock generally has a better track record than this. A recent support manual uploaded to Dell's website shows off a new touchscreen all-in-one, the Vostro 360.
Dell's XPS 8300 represents a return of the XPS brand for the Round Rock computer giant. Left to die by the wayside after Dell acquired Alienware, the XPS brand is an affordable premium line of computers - and that's why it made our Back to School top pick!
Dell has been making great strides in the display market for years, now. In fact, their displays are commonly accepted to be of sufficient quality to rival Apple's own IPS monitors, popular in the design fields.
This morning, Dell announced the latest updates to their thin client lineup with the OptiPlex FX130 and FX170. The new systems, not much bigger than an open hand, are less than two inches wide and weigh under 1.5 pounds.
