According to Reuters, Hitachi has announced plans to stop making personal computers. The company cites poor sales and high development costs as the reason for the move but plans to continue making server-based computers for businesses.
The conglomerate, whose products range from nuclear reactors to washing machines, is pulling out of underperforming businesses to pool resources to fight price falls and mounting development costs. Hitachi ranked eighth in Japan's PC market with only 4.5 percent share, shipping 580,000 units in the year ended March.
