From the looks of things, HP's 'reinvention' in this segment appears to involve building things out of plastic thinner and lighter than balsa wood.

First Agilent - then Avago, and Keysight, now this. The HP we knew and loved is being carved-up like a side of beef.

HP used to be the name on the best instrumentation equipment in the world. Even old tube models still sell ..and are not cheap.

Now, the name is on computers and servers..and software...which is of no better quality than any other of the myriad competitors.

Bye, HP....some of us remember when you were run by EEs...and had real product.

Just a matter of a few years ago, HP couldn’t accept a bulk order for servers of what was ordered the previous time in bulk. Had to reprice everything and re-enter all the orders, which naturally led to build errors. I went to Albuquerque to try and work with them to prevent the issues. Turned out about half their operational systems were still Compaq and even some DEC. This reads as if they may have learned from that.
