Hitachi pulls out of home PCs
By
Hitachi Ltd said on Tuesday it is withdrawing from the home personal-computer business amid sluggish sales, the latest move by a Japanese electronics group to trim struggling operations. Hitachi ranked eighth in Japan’s PC market with only 4.5 percent share, shipping 580,000 units in the year ended March.
Hitachi, which helped pioneer PC technology in Japan three decades ago, has not developed new Prius-brand PCs for the year-end shopping season and will stop making them, Hitachi spokesman Keisaku Shibatani said.
