Night Writer Com'on over to the DELL thread instead :) Dell's total U.S. market share increased to 26.3 percent, which was bigger than the shares of merger partners No. 2 Compaq (CPQ: news, chart) and No. 3 Hewlett-Packard (HWP: news, chart). U.S. PC shipments rebound in Q1 But outlook remains uncertain; Dell remains leader By Allen Wan, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 12:48 AM ET April 19, 2002 NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- U.S. PC shipments grew in the first quarter, marking a turnaround after two consecutive quarters of contraction, a Gartner Dataquest survey showed. Domestic shipments rose 2.3 percent in the quarter to 11.1 million units, while worldwide PC shipments totaled 32.7 million units in the first quarter -- flat from the same period last year. Still, the research group said that PC shipments remain sluggish and that the outlook is uncertain. "First quarter 2002 growth rates are based upon weak market performances in the same quarter a year ago and therefore, despite the apparently better growth rate figures, in reality, both the U.S. and worldwide markets remain sluggish," said Charles Smulders, vice president of Gartner Dataquest's Computing Platforms Worldwide group. "At best, these numbers suggest the market is returning to more normal seasonal growth patterns, but with little evidence of return to growth in the large accounts segment, the market outlook for 2002 remains highly uncertain." Dell (DELL: news, chart), the world's top PC maker, was the only PC company to report growth in overseas shipments in the first quarter. Shipments in the first quarter surged 13.7 percent as its market share rose to 14.3 percent. Compaq, Hewlett-Packard and IBM (IBM: news, chart) rounded out the top four, the survey showed. Dell's total U.S. market share increased to 26.3 percent, which was bigger than the shares of merger partners No. 2 Compaq (CPQ: news, chart) and No. 3 Hewlett-Packard (HWP: news, chart).
