Comments on: Analyst: HP should price Gateway

Under the right circumstances, HP might seek to buy Gateway, according to speculation in a new report.

HP bought Compaq for scale

HP bought Compaq for scale and that didn't work out. Why would buying Gateway work any better? Gateway bought eMachines as a way to get Wayne Inoue and to change its business model.

If HP bought anything, it would make more sense to buy IBM's PC business -- but IBM wouldn't sell to a direct competitor.

It would probably make more sense for Gateway to take HP's PC business of its hands.

You got it backwards

HP should sell it's PC division to Gateway, the new industry bottom feeder.
Maybe they'll get as much as IBM got for selling out to Lenova. Which wasn't much!

Compaq, HP, Gateway, and emachines....

This is just too cool. It will become even easier to tell the differance between the quality and the trash. Not a single one of these four are worth buying. I can just boycot one single company and get the job done.
