Hi Kemble! This is another article on the European PC shipement data from Dataquest. :)Leigh news.cnet.com PC shipments rise despite fewer sales in Europe By Bloomberg News May 5, 2000, 2:20 p.m. PT LONDON--European personal computer shipments rose 5.6 percent in the first quarter from the same period a year ago, although fewer people bought desktop computers in the region. European PC shipments reached 7.5 million units, up from 7.1 million a year earlier, according to Dataquest., a unit of Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner Group. Still, desktop shipments in the first quarter grew less than 1 percent over shipments a year ago. "A failure in the deskbound growth rates has damped the whole market down," said Howard Seabrook, a Dataquest analyst. "However, in contrast, mobile computer shipments grew 38 percent in the first quarter, a performance hampered by lack of supply rather than lack of demand." Compaq Computer led with 14 percent of the market in the first quarter, while Hewlett-Packard and direct PC seller Dell Computer were the only computer makers among the top five that increased market share. Dell increased its market share to 9.1 percent, taking the third spot, while HP increased its share to 6.9 percent. Germany continued to lead the region with shipments of 1.7 million units--a 5.3 percent increase from the same period last year. The United Kingdom followed with 1.5 million units, 8.9 percent more than a year ago. Copyright 2000, Bloomberg L.P. All rights reserved.
