Ah, China. Thank you tree hugger over the top government regulations, ultra high corporate taxes and greedy unions.
Even Russia is far enough to it's people to have a flat tax of 13%, the US FEDS love a super complex tax code so they can manipulate the serfs.

Am I reading that wrong? Is Lenovo the 2nd or 3rd largest PC Maker??

Lenovo is Now the World's Third Largest PC Manufacturer

Lenovo has surpassed Acer as the world's second largest PC OEM in the second quarter of this year.

What?!!

 

[wintermint]

Acer lost its ranking as 3rd because of their bad sales. Lenovo took its place.

Is this a tricky article for ppl who's learning English of something?, or why the contradiction ? ^

 

[Sashmo99]

Did they mention who is #1?

Like most such "articles", there's really no meat here. Show us the stats. We can do our "second" and "third" placements on our own, Doug.

Geez! I didn't even catch it until I read the comments.

How I interpreted the article:

1. HP
2. Dell
3. Lenovo
4. Acer
5. Asus

It doesn't matter, the PC is "dying". lol

netbook, laptop, etc. are NOT PCs! Any device where the keyboard is basically attached to the monitor is NOT a PC. A PC is that little box next to or under your desk with all the wires coming out of it.

The original article was a lot clearer.

 

[captaincharisma]

with the way HP is failing they will be number 2 in a few months

Lenovo is good, but their IdeaPad series suck big-time. ThinkPad, however, is great, though a bit overpriced at times.

Acer does not deserve to have its place in this world because of the crappy system and lousy support. ACER is ALL COMPLETE EVERYTHING REDUCED

Actually a PC is a personal computer, regardless of it's form.

What about those AIO PCs, huh? (AIO: All-In-One). The motherboard, PSU, HDD optical drive, etc., are attached to the monitor. Those devices that have the keyboard attached to the monitor also run PC software and are very similar (internally) to a PC. In fact, you could call those Portable Personal Computers (PPCs).

wish they make it clear from start also by defining PC

Acer just sells too much crap. They flood their markets with PC's with one feature that is good such as a better CPU or better graphics then makes up for that by having poor chassis,lousy keyboard/Touchpad or generally cheap hardware and support.

 

[eddieroolz]

I had no idea Lenovo had become such a large company.

Although, I'm happy that I went with my Acer. It's well made for a laptop costing $650.

What? People are buying PCs? Didn't i totally believe Wolfgang in his last-to-last "opinion"? and the one before that? and before that too?

😀 😛

"the only problem is that lenovo is not an OEM it is NOT a MANUFACTURER. it's just an ODM who contracts fabs to manufacture notebooks."

Not entirely true - Lenovo still designs it's Thinkpad line of products in Japan (and has done so since the IBM days of the Thinkpad) and they build many of those Thinkpads in Lenovo plants.

So in other words the "dying" pc (as some so called "journalists" on Toms hardware claims) sold a "meassy" 166.417.000 units in 1/2 year and thats not counting the units made by enthusiasts from computer parts.

Sure its dying with those sales and even market gain in the current poor economic climate and with the saturated market where everyone have a PC already... sure it is - sure it is! /end sarcasm!
