El negocio de ordenadores personales de Intel se enfrentará a una mayor presión en precios tras la decisión de Hewlett-Packard (HP) de abandonar ese negocio, dijo la agencia Nomura, que añadió que espera que el principal fabricante de chips no cumpla con sus previsiones del tercer trimestre.
HP aseguró el pasado jueves que puede separar su negocio de ordenadores personales – el mayor del mundo – dentro de una serie de dramáticas medidas para apartarse del mercado de consumidores, lo que también incluye acabar con su nuevo ‘tablet’ y comprar la empresa de software británica Autonomy por 11.700 millones de dólares (8.140 millones de euros).
El grupo PC Client de Intel, que entrega productos para computadoras personales, aportó el 64 por ciento de las ventas del fabricante de chips el trimestre pasado, dijo la agencia.
Nomura dijo que la previsión a la baja de HP para el segundo semestre de 2011, junto a las previsiones débiles de Dell y NetApp, confirma su opinión de que Intel no cumplirá con sus previsiones para el tercer trimestre.
Intel había pronosticado el mes pasado ingresos para el tercer trimestre de 14.000 millones de dólares (9.741 millones de euros).

Okay, so this is my first laptop. I have quite a few to caompre it to seeing as I’m the last in my family to get one. Compared to the family computer and all of my relatives laptops (7 others), this is by far the best of them all. The display is great! I love that there are so many choices to change the display of the text to what you can read the easiest. I love that there wasn’t a bunch of apps already on this laptop. And the setup was SO easy! It is incredibly fast. I was going for something small and simple, and this is actually more than I expected. I thought I would have to buy a webcam due to having my best friend move away, but the built in webcam works great. I haven’t had any problems so far. The battery life on this computer is great (I use the eco setting and I also don’t keep windows open that I’m not using. I’ve read that some people were complaining about loud keys, but I don’t think it is annoyingly loud. It’s not louder than a pc. I also haven’t had any problems with my mouse. The speakers aren’t great, but they work. I use headphones most of the time anyways. I also went and bought some big speakers to hook it up to. They were quite well. Especially for this price, I am more than happy with this laptop. Even if it was regular price, I would be moer than happy. I love it!!
