WinInfo | at | by Mike
Dell, the world's largest computer maker, actually gained market share on rival Hewlett-Packard (HP) in the most recent quarter, according to both Gartner and IDC. Shipments of Dell PCs rose over 20 percent, year-over-year, in the most current quarter. The company now owns 18.2 percent of the global PC market, up from 16.9 percent in the same quarter a year ago.
"Dell completely blew its competitors away again," IDC analyst Roger Kay said. HP retained the number two spot, with 16.2 percent of the market, down from 16.6 percent a year earlier. IBM was number three, followed by Fujitsu and then Toshiba.
