During the second quarter of 2010, Dell would have achieved one of its major objectives: exceed Acer. According to iSuppli, the American multinational rises again in second place in the world ranking of computer makers.

After 9 months spent in second place in the top 10 electronics giants leading global mobile in the second quarter of 2010 Acer drops in third place. Despite a growth of 24.2% over one year, the Taiwanese company showed a loss of 6.2% over the last three months, compared to first quarter 2010. One reason for this failure is given mainly by the decline of its sales on laptops, which has invested heavily in the segment.

Acer notebooks are in fact almost 80% of its fleet, compared to 60% of its competitors. For Matthew Wilkins, principal analyst for iSuppli, the battle between Acer and Dell was not yet over, indeed could continue in the coming quarters. According to iSuppli, Hewlett-Packard remains the worldwide market leader with 18.1% market share and 14.955 million of PC disposal. The American company is a leading global top 10 for 16 consecutive quarters.

Dell follows with 12.8% of quoete market and 10.541 million computers sold. So, are placed Acer (12.4%, 10.191 billion units), Lenovo (10.1%, 8.327 million units) and Toshiba (5.4%, 4.456 million units). As you can see on the 5 major computer manufacturers in the world, but Lenovo has grown its sales from the first quarter 2010, with a +18.6%. The main decrease in HP (- 6.3%), against a slight fall from Dell (- 1.2%).

Nevertheless, sales of laptops are g lobal rising (+1.1%), from first to second second quarter 2010, with 82.49 billion units. We do not know at the time when worldwide sales of notebooks will increase or not, in the third quarter, and to what extent.
