> didn't make strategic sense Good little practical personal hardware things like NUC are what makes people love a company. E.g. Intel CPUs always were just default CPUs and what made me love the brand were Intel Desktop Boards which were exceptionally reliable (although I've heard some people had different experience). IBM/Dell/HP/etc servers always were just servers but their high-quality "enterprise class" laptops made me sympathize them, despite they probably never meant to make a huge portion of their profit from selling these. RaspberryPi hugely changed how do I feel about Broadcom, towards the positive direction. This is about purely subjective perception but I would guess this can play a role in many cases. Haven't IBM benefit from the fact ThinkPads were used on the space stations?
