In 1972 the company released the HP 3000 general-purpose updated minicomputer for use in business. During that period, Packard declined the proposal of a young engineer working in the company to create a personal computer model. However, realizing that they had made a big mistake with this decision, Hewlett and Packard released HP85 in 1980. But it was a failure.
Later the HP 150 model went on sale but did not succeed as well. The company’s first successful product for the PC market was actually a printer. The HP LaserJet appeared in 1984 to rave reviews and huge sales, becoming Hewlett-Packard’s single most successful product.
In the early 90's, HP could not adapt to the new generation of computers found itself losing to rival computer workstation companies, and the company's value is decreasing. But Packard makes big changes and prepares HP's new business plan. Following this process, the company became one of the three largest computer manufacturers in the world.
Offerings in the computer area include hardware ranging from palmtops through personal computers to supercomputers, software, networking products, printers, scanners, and support and maintenance services.
In 2015 Hewlett-Packard split into two companies: HP Inc., which made personal computers and printers, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, which provided products and services for businesses. Both Companies are still working successfully in their fields. HP in UAE has service center as well.
