HP & Lenovo retain top spot in PC sales


As the worldwide PC shipments continue to dip, HP Inc and Lenovo were in a virtual tie for the top spot in the PC market in the third quarter of 2017, Gartner said on Wednesday.

HP had 21.8 percent market share in Q3 2017, while Lenovo registered 21.4 percent market share in terms of PC shipments.

However, "HP Inc. is in an upward trend as it has experienced five consecutive quarter of global PC growth, while Lenovo is in a downward trend with declining shipments in eight of the last 10 quarters," Gartner said.

Worldwide PC shipments reached 67 million units in the third quarter of 2017 - a 3.6 percent decline from the third quarter of 2016.

This is the 12th consecutive quarter of declining PC shipments, according to Gartner.
