Notebook sales continue to soar
Acer, Siemens-Fujitsu-Siemens make gains
Wed Oct 20 2004, 10:57
A FIRM of analysts said that sales of notebooks in the European region rose by 28.1 per cent in the third
quarter of this year.
And even desktop PCs did well here, rising 17.9 per cent, YoYo (year on year). What Canalys calls "industry standard servers", and the rest of us call X86 servers also showed steady growth at 16.9%*.
The firm bases its shipping estimates on a service it calls EMEA PC tracking.
Notebook sales account for 31.8% of total PC shipments in Europe, claimed Canalys. Acer and Siemens-Fujitsu-Siemens (FJS) made strong gains during the calendar quarter, as the Canalys table shows below. These figures are for 1000s, and exclude Tablet PCs.
The "others" are doing pretty well. µ
