Samsung negotiates with Lenovo the sale of its computer division

Lenovo Yoga Book

In recent years, the sale of both desktops and laptops has been declining, mainly due to the arrival of tablets on the market, computers that allow us to carry out the same basic operations such as checking email, checking our account of Facebook, visit web pages ... so that computers are being left only for users who really need it for professional purposes or those who need more than a tablet for day to day. According to various sources from South Korea, Samsung is in negotiations to sell its PC division to Lenovo.

Apparently Samsung's computer division is not giving the performance they expect, mainly due to the decline in sales that these devices have experienced in recent years, and it seems that the company has grown tired of continuing to invest. Lenovo, leader in computer sales worldwide, could pay 800 million euros to take over the entire division to integrate it into that of the Chinese firm, in order to expand the range of options currently offered in the market.

This would not be the first division of computers that the Chinese company would buy. Previously, in 2005, was made with IBM's computer division. Relatively recently he also tried it with Fujitsu, but given his refusal he has decided to contact who he was interested in selling: Samsung.

The sale of this division makes sense, as the Koreans sold the printer division to the printing giant HP, leaving the computer division lame. Levono has been involved in recent years in several Controversies over malware and spyware that it introduced into the bloatware on their laptops, a fact that it has carried out on two occasions and that allowed the Chinese firm to obtain personal information about users.
