The PC market has not been very stable lately, but it still managed to grow 3.6% year.to.year in Q3. HP continues to be number one, but Lenovo climbed past Dell to second place.
The PC market continues to grow, despite the meager conditions in the world. One of the reasons is that there is more action in the developing countries, and that China has been very strong lately. In total 91.8 million PC shipped in Q3. We have reported that HP is rumored to sell or break off the PC division, even though it is the largest in the world and showed good numbers year-to-year.
