Q3 PC Shipments Up 15.5%

摘要

Third-quarter PC shipments were up 15.5% year-over-year, says research firm Henderson Ventures (hendersonventures.com). PC growth rebounded with the help of low-cost shipments to emerging economies and growing acceptance of Microsoft's Vista operating system, while global PC shipment growth has been accelerating, reports Henderson. For 2007, shipments are predicted to hit 264 million, a growth rate of 11.6%, says the firm. The traditional two-year cycle is forecast to continue through 2009, without a major dent in the expected growth rate for next year.
