eMachines is selling more than even eMachine bulls expected initially- important not as a buy for eMachines but for its effect on the other boxmakers

Global PC shipment in Q1 rises 15 pct - Data Quest

biz.yahoo.com
TOKYO, April 24 (Reuters) - Gartner Group Data Quest said on Monday global shipments of personal computers (PCs) in January to March, or the first quarter of calendar 2000, rose 15 percent from a year earlier to 29.98 million units.

The gain mainly resulted from good sales in Asia, Pacific and Japanese markets, it said.

Gartner Group Data Quest, the Japanese unit of technology research firm Gartner Group Inc (NYSE:IT - news), said Compaq Computer Corp (NYSE:CPQ - news) topped the global PCs sale list, selling 3.75 million units in January to March, up 11.4 percent from a year earlier.

That gave Compaq a 12.5 percent share of the world market.

Other makers's sales with year earlier percentage change and market share are (in millions of units):



Sales yr/yr Share
CPQ 3.75 (+11.4%) 12.5%
Dell 3.00 (+29.3) 10.0
HWP 2.39 (+59.9) 8.0
IBM 1.77 (-15.7) 5.9
NEC Corp 1.43 (-9.3) 4.8


Sales of PCs in Latin America, Asia and Japan were favourable as expected but those in the United States and Europe remained slow, it said. U.S. sales suffered from slower than expected demand from large- and medium-size corporates amid the lingering effect of the year 2000 computer transition.
