1Why Both HPs Had a Pivotal Year
Hewlett-Packard Co., founded way back in 1939, has been one of the few true survivors in the volatile information technology products and services business. In 2015, the company split into two entities: HP Enterprise, which develops, makes and services all the servers, storage, networking and other enterprise IT hardware and software needed to run data centers; and HP Inc., which develops and builds business and consumer-oriented personal computers, workstations, printers and other devices. Both have continued to do well in their markets. In November 2019, Xerox made a surprising bid to buy HPI for $35 billion. The company has resisted, but who knows where it’s going to end up? We at eWEEK are watching closely. Meanwhile, let’s take a look at what HP did in the last 12 months.

4HP Elite Dragonfly Laptop Sets a High Bar for Quality
Sept. 19, 2019: Rather than the HP Dragonfly tagline being “Lighter Than Air,” which it isn’t, it should be “Impressive Laptop,” which it is. It has been awhile since any PC OEM has created what I think is full-on halo product in the business space, but HP has done this. A halo product is one that sets a high bar and is a showcase of what a company can do. These products tend to be technological powerhouses, and few of us mortals ever get to use them, but those who know about them dream about owning one.
