I like that HP is putting out new products like the little roomba floor plan printer robot. Even if it’s not original (neither was the printer), they’ve got divisions that are ideating, improving, designing and manufacturing products. I haven’t seen the full scope of their offerings to be fair. | |||||||||||||||||

Seems like a very niche market for a company at HP's scale. I don't really see them as a consumer printer company any longer. And Roomba-type things are very dependent on floor plans. My brother has a near-ideal layout (single level with no transitions) and it just works so-so for them. Wouldn't work for me pretty much at all even with some changes that eliminate level transitions. | |||||||||||||||||

Fiorina had this vague-ish better together vision. But, even now that I'm sort of back in the industry analyst thing again, HP isn't really on my radar. Obviously they have customers but haven't been following them especially closely and pretty much all my connections there are long gone. | |||||||||||||||||
