Global PC Ranking 2010
During the recent PC Fair in August, I made a trip to KL Convention Center and checked out the laptop prices and specifications.
Was wondering what brand would’ve been the best now, having a long time being outdated from the latest hardware in town.
My personal choice for a laptop for the past few years have been DELL, but then it has been more than a decade since their enormous growth.
Anyway, here are some of the statistics about the PC brands and rankings:
Hewlett-Packard holds the Number 1 spot in Worldwide PC Shipment ranking.

Ironically, with HP being the best in PC making, the same does not hold true in their reliability, also known as quality.
How could that happen, really surprises me.
It means HPs product are the least reliable, but still most of the people purchase them.

In case you are one of those who have gotten an HP or Compaq, let’s hope it’s not going to fall in the stats for being less reliable! 🙂
