HP (Hewlett Packard) is dropping their PC Business

Since I’ve been in the PC repair business, I have rarely built or sold PC’s, because the profit margin is so small! I usually advise customers to buy at their favorite store, or to buy on-line. HP was one of my recommendations, and a lot of customers bought these. Now, with HP’s latest announcement, the whole PC market is making a radical change. This announcement includes dropping of their WebOS line, including their touchpad.
The average consumer can expect to see increased prices for PC’s, because of the lessening of competition. Also, The US is losing another manufacturer, (at least partially) and the business will increasingly go to Asia. What are your thoughts?
