Global PC Ranking 2010

August 16th, 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Was wondering what brand would’ve been the best now, having a long time being outdated from the latest hardware in town.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.

According to International Data Corporation (IDC), HP is still at the top position in the PC market.
Top 5 Vendors: Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) PC Shipments* 2Q10 (Preliminary) (000 Units)

Vendor 2Q09 2Q10 Share 2Q09 Share 2Q10 2Q10/2Q09 Growth
Hewlett-Packard 4,200 4,867 21.2% 20.3% 15.9%
Acer Group 3,981 4,798 20.1% 20.0% 20.5%
Dell 2,085 2,301 10.5% 9.6% 10.4%
Asus 1,034 1,991 5.2% 8.3% 92.5%
Toshiba 1,117 1,386 5.6% 5.8% 24.1%
Others 7,353 8,603 37.2% 35.9% 17.0%
Total 19,769 23,947 100.0% 100.0% 21.1%

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! 🙂
