Currently, the PC market is in the midst of an historic slump – at least according to IDC’s latest figures (and everyone else certainly agrees that it’s bad) – so it’s not too surprising to hear that in the face of this, some vendors are mulling over their position in the market, and potentially radical moves.
Indeed, according to the latest rumour from DigiTimes, three manufacturers are considering a merger of their laptop businesses – namely Toshiba, Fujitsu and Vaio. The latter, of course, used to be a Sony brand, but is now a standalone company based in Japan after Sony sold its PC division off back in 2014.
