NOTE - * Consolidated units and year-on-year growth.
Context said the 11 percent year-on-year growth rate in the fourth quarter,
slower than 18.5 percent year-on-year rate from the third quarter, resulted from
a higher-than-expected slowdown in small business PC sales.
PC sales to corporates continued flat, but a spending spree by small
businesses in the third quarter slowed towards year-end, it said in a statement.
