Notebook computer shipments increase while PC shipments drop Semiconductor Business News (08/01/02 10:10 a.m. EST) SAN JOSE, Calif. -- While the overall number of PC shipments suffered a 1% decline in the second quarter of 2002 compared with a year before, the mobile PC subset of the PC market grew 6.1%, according to preliminary results from market research firm Dataquest. The number of worldwide mobile PC shipments totaled 6.9 million units in the second quarter of 2002, up from the like quarter a year before when shipments totaled 6.5 million units. “Continuing growth in mobile PCs provides some good news in a worldwide PC market that overall remains weak," said Charles Smulders, vice president of San Jose-based Dataquest's computing platforms worldwide group, in a statement. “The mobile PC market grew in most regions except for Japan and Latin America. The U.S. mobile PC market grew 9.3% year over year, supported by the beginning of back-to-school purchases, as well as orders from educational institutions.” Smulders said Dataquest expects the notebook computer market to outperform the desk-based computer market in unit growth terms in both 2002 and 2003.
