The Top Best Computer Hardware Companies 2013 AWARDS NOMINATIONS

Computers and their use have become so common that almost every individual knows the basic about them. To start with, let me elaborate two essential components of computer at the very grass root level. These two components are called Hardware and Software. Hardware is the comprehensive term for all the physical parts of the computer. It is on which the computer software runs. Keyboards, Mouse, printer, scanner, wireless communication methodology are some of the examples of computer hardware. There are many companies which manufacture computer and also along with manufacture computer hardware peripherals and provide support and services. In fact these hardware offering and services sometimes serve as distinguishable factor between companies. The reason for this is better the hardware, better is the reliability of the customer. Every aspect is directly proportional in this business and because of such a great impact many companies are researching and evolving more in the computer hardware domain.
1. Hewlett Packard (HP)
From the day the word desktops or computers came into existence and people started using it, I think from that day we are very well known with the name Hewlett Packard better known as HP. From desktops to touch screen laptops they have been ruling since a very long time. They are managing 200 data centers, 380,000 servers, 5.4 million desktops and 17 million IP addresses. One out of every three servers shipped worldwide is from HP. Such a big company had a very small start with just $538 capital including the equipment by Stanford graduates William Hewlett and David Packard. Many few would know that one of the early customers of this company was Walt Disney studios. They used HP oscillators to make the film Fantasia. They brought in first mass-market laser printer was brought to market in 1989 by HP. Mergers with Compaq and EDS helped HP grown enormously. Another domain where HP Company has emerged a innovator is the management style and employment facilities. Casual work culture, On site recreational facilities, health insurance plans and other different benefits were provided to HP employees which started the trend. HP has been and still retains its number one position in the market of computers.
2. Apple
Apple is one of the most admired companies even by its own competitors. They have proved themselves a challenger to convention. It is the company which has changed the people expectation from consumer electronics. In 2011, Apple made and sold 70 million iPhones, 30 million iPads, and 59 million other products. Last year Apple sold 40 million iPhones. If you can’t imagine it, let me break it for you. 40 million phones per year means 110,000 iPhones sold every day, further, 76 iPhones per minute. I suppose now you can imagine the revenue the company is generating and the position company enjoys in the technology market. Each iPhone contains hundreds of parts: semiconductors from Germany and Taiwan, memory from Korea and Japan, display panels and circuitry from Korea and Taiwan, chipsets from Europe and rare metals from Africa and Asia. And all of that is assembled in China. Apple made the first mass market color digital camera which could be connected to Mac via a serial cable. In the current market , and also in the future Apple is going to be the most valuable technology company in the world and would definitely be called digital powerhouse.
They are also known for retina display screen and recently launch the iPhone5s with finger print scan.
3. Samsung
Samsung – a word considered synonym to the Smartphone. This is how well Samsung has established in telecommunication industry. But very few know that along with smart phones, Samsung is also a very well-known brand in computers, laptops, and its hardware components. The success of Samsung has been very surprising and completely contradictory to the style of success and failure usually seen in the graph chart of companies. They focus on handful of products and emerge as winners. Samsung has been into 80 different businesses since its inception in 1938. They make skyscrapers, big ships, television, refrigerators to name a few. Burj Khalifa the tallest building in world which is in Dubai is the product of Samsung construction division. In the computer domain, they have been the leading producer of memory chips since 1993. The reason for such a tremendous success of Samsung is hard work, commitment and desire for perfection.
