As you may know already, Taiwan PC manufacturer Acer has bought the struggling US PC maker Gateway in a $1 billion deal. The sale will change the ranking of the global PC market. Let's have a look of the global PC market in 2006 first:
- Dell - 17.1% market share
- HP - 17%
- Lenovo - 7.3%
- Acer - 5.9%
- Toshiba - 4%
- Fujitsu/Siemens - 3.7%
- Apple - 2.5%
- Gateway - 2.2%
- NEC - 2.2%
- Sony - 1.7%
In New Zealand, we have a different view of the market. According to IDC, HP toke 36% of the market share in Q2, 2007 and Acer was already the No. 2, followed by Dell.
What's your preference? However, I'm using a Dell desktop and Sony laptop at the moment. Will I buy an Acer, may be not.
