<China PC sales> Mainland PC sales leap 60pc! Hi Kemble: Wake up. I wonder how our little operation in China doing? I mean Dell's brand new plant and everything. ====================================== Tuesday February 9 1999 Mainland PC sales leap 60pc Sales of personal computers for home users in the mainland grew more than 60 per cent last year compared with 1997, with more than 1.2 million units sold, according to market researcher Advanced Forecasting-HuiCong (AFHC). Mainland manufacturer Legend was the biggest vendor, followed by IBM and Compaq, showing that opportunities for foreign firms were increasing, according to a Newsbytes report. Branded PCs are replacing "no-name" models that were popular among mainland home consumers two years ago, a trend that seemed to indicate price no longer was the primary consideration. Many consumers would delay purchases in hopes of getting a more powerful system for less money - a trend that had placed constraints on the market - but the mainland market was wide open for international PC vendors, AFHC said.
