NEC confirmed its sale of Packard Bell to Lap Shun Hui, the co-founder of PC Maker eMachines, which was acquired by Gateway in 2004. NEC will sell Packard Bell for roughly US$87 million. Packard Bell used to be one of the main players as PC Maker in the mid 90’s; its success was short-lived as it built a poor reputation of terrible technical support and product quality. Packard Bell was pulled out from the North America market but is still afloat in the European market.
