HP Notebooks – In Japan


HP had a touch more important (not only) in the world of technology, where the world's leading manufacturers of the largest computer last week announced his intention to separate its PC business. But a country which has always been a single market for many companies, is apparently to get special treatment: Japan.

We reported in June that HP will move to a part of the production of laptop computers from China to Japan, and it looks like the company's decision last week has no impact on the plan. Today, HP actually started the manufacture of these units at its plant in Akishima, Tokyo.

At a press conference, said Takafumi Oka, VP at HP Japan, it seems to pull the plug on the computer industry would be a mistake on our business, and that HP should consider other options instead.

So far, the plant is used in the production of computers. Laptops were originally intended for sale to domestic firms, after which the standard models of consumer markets for the products by the end of this year. The goal is to reduce the delivery time by about 50%, and five days.

Currently, HP produces most of its computers and related products in China
