She almost single-handedly destroyed eBay, and they think she can save HP?

Sure. She can start by finishing what Carly Fiorina started by laying off those nasty high paid programmers and engineers. Higher margins in toner and ink, doncha know.

Hewlett-Packard used to be a name that stood for excellence. Now it's the computer that's competing for the front page special at Best Buy with Acer and Lenovo.

I bought an HP laptop years ago, never again.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that HP divested itself of its scientific equipment division awhile back.

When I was in college, they were the gold standard for measuring equipment.

HP AND Dell’s largest money-makers are servers. They make a lot of money on printer ink and toner, but at $2,000 per entry-level business-class server, they’re making plenty of cash outside of retail/consumer-level tech.
