More detail: Dell trumps HP for top PC spot By John G. Spooner Staff Writer, CNET News.com October 17, 2002, 10:18 AM PT Dell Computer has surpassed Hewlett-Packard to take the lead position in the global PC market, according to a new survey by research firm IDC. The direct PC seller, based on unit shipments during the third quarter, just topped its rival with 16 percent of the global market, compared to HP's 15.5 percent, according to IDC analyst Roger Kay. Out of more than 10 million units shipped between them, Dell moved just under 200,000 units more than HP during the quarter, Kay said. IDC is set to release complete data later on Thursday. Rival research firm Gartner is also expected to release its own data Thursday. During the second quarter--HP's first complete quarter after merging with Compaq Computer--HP managed a slight lead over Dell despite an overall decline in PC shipments. Dell had been No. 1 for five quarters, a streak which ended when HP took the top spot during the second quarter of this year. HP claimed 15.1 percent of the market while Dell grabbed 14.8 percent for the second quarter, according to IDC.
