HP, in a statemetn by Bill Wohl, HP senior vice president and chief communications officer, has said that it is not considering selling off its PC business, as reported earlier by the Taiwanese, Chinese language publication Commercial Times.
“Irresponsible reporting by Taiwan’s Commercial Times, suggesting that HP might sell its PC business, should be dismissed as market rumor and speculation. HP runs the world’s largest PC business and it is core to HP’s strategy for the connected world,” Wohl said in the statement.
In a separate release, the company said that the energy-reduction goals made by the company in 2009 have been met or exceeded more than nine months ahead of schedule. It also unveiled energy savings research and analysis showing that if all makes and models of printers, notebook and desktop PCs, displays and servers shipped in 2005 were recycled and replaced with new HP energy-efficient models, customers could save approximately $10.4 billion in energy costs, and avoid more than 40 million metric tons of CO2 emissions within a year. |
