Lenovo beats Dell and reaches the second place in PCs

China's Lenovo comes the second highest number of PCs sold around the world. With this, the company surpasses U.S. Dell, which recently has suffered from the crisis in key markets (read: the United States and Europe). In turn, Lenovo just takes advantage of the internal market, supplying the Chinese with new equipment, thus increasing sales.


Consulting on data from IHS iSuppli for the third quarter, Lenovo appears to 12.5 million PCs distributed. The front remains the HP, who sat on the throne of personal computing time and staff does not seem to want to drop the crown. Hewlett-Packard distributes 16.2 million machines during the period July to September. Dell, which has led the market in the third position with 11.2 million PCs distributed.

The news comes without causing much surprise. Everyone knows that America is recovering from a very heavy crisis, while Europe seems to sink ever more the same type of problem. Lenovo, which only smart, strengthened sales in the Chinese territory. They have the machines set up there, and now do not need ships to transport thousands of computers, since the distribution takes place internally.

And to think that a few years ago, nobody would talk about buying a machine from Lenovo in Brazil. Since they acquired the PC division of IBM and licensed the brand to own laptops, even in 2005 - the year that positioned the United States headquarters, and where was the group's ThinkPad giant blue - this market has changed a lot. Not to mention that interest in desktop computers has declined, with greater desire for notebooks.

Personally I do not know anyone who has a computer from Lenovo. I often see more Vaio from Sony or Acer, which appears fourth in total distributed machines, according to IHS iSuppli. Here in Brazil we have the phenomenon of assembled desktop machines, where the guy goes into a store, choose the specifications, and then provides the technical equipment complete with his assurance, and safeguards for each individual component.
