Report: Dell takes top spot in consumer sales

AUSTIN (AP) — Dell Computer sold more computers to nonbusiness consumers in the United States than anybody else in the third quarter, according to industry analyst Gartner.

The No. 1 ranking is a coup for Dell, which has been focusing on building its home computer business to complement its well-established corporate computer sales business. The Round Rock-based company is already No 1 overall in worldwide sales of personal computers.

"Our customers have clearly seen the value of our offerings to elevate us to this position," said John Hamlin, vice president of Dell's U.S. consumer business.

Dell launched its U.S. consumer business in August 1997. Today, it accounts for more than 15% of its overall revenue. In the company's second fiscal quarter that ended Aug. 2, Dell products purchased by U.S. consumers increased 47% over last year.
