Wow, didn't know Samsung was in the desktop PC business other than the 3.5" HDD.

@milktea
Samsung hasn't been in the 3.5" HDD business since 2011.

They made desktops? Or they're talking about laptops?

I did not realize that they were in the desktop business.

Samsung is a mega-conglomerate so it has its hands in tons of businesses not just phones and electronics. Anyways, I guess its branded laptops and PC's are mostly sold in Korea or Asia.

I am getting tired of hearing about the inevitable demise of the PC from the people who stand to profit most from such an outcome.

People don't realize what they've got until it's gone.

[taptempo]

Never even noticed they were in the desktop business.

I look forward to seeing Sammy focus more on making better tablets and phones.

Gaming consoles have really gutted the high end desktop market, kind of a bummer.

As long as they keep making SSD's I'm happy.

Thats ok sasmung, just concentrate in keeping your phones competitive and innovative. We have lots of other companies to maintain the PC market.

Let me get this straight:
1)They Separate All-in-One from PCs. Note: All-In-One are PCs.
2)They wont make more had drives? More ram memory? Or will they only make them for their All -In-One and tablets, loosing that market piece of the cake?
3)They wont make monitors anymore?
4)When exactly did Samsung make "PCs"? I was only aware of componenets.

Im guessing Samsung is just trying to get free ads by making claims that inspire controversy.
