I like the Vaio notebooks... IBM sold the PC business to Lenovo years ago too because it was low profitable.

The question is if this is the right time to sell off your PC business after reports that PC sales are hitting bottom in 2013/14 and will start to move back up in 2015.

But if they may not have untill 2015

The article states a prediction of a growth of less than 1% in 2015 after having already shrinking by over 10%-- that's hardly a recovery. IDC also predict that demand for PCs to stay mostly stagnant over the next four years.

We're talking exponential here
