Acer Passes Dell in PC Sales in Third Quarter of 2009


Boston (DbTechNo) - It is being reported that Acer has just passed Dell and is now the second largest computer vendor in the world.
This is a result of a boombing third quarter when it comes to PC sales, and the back to school time of year that saw a reduction in the price of netbook computers.
Dell have long been thought of as a powerhouse in the PC industry but now that they have been surpassed by Acer one has to wonder what Dell will do to bounce back.
According to reports, shippments of Acer computers jumped by an astounding 25.6 percent to reach 10.96 million units, outperforming Dell, who shipped 9.95 million units.
Acer is more willing to adapt to a competitive market when it comes to laptop and netbook prices and have thus saw an increase in market share.
Acer ended the third quarter of 2009 with 14% of the market, to Dell’s 12.7 percent.
