Worldwide, however, HP is now the clear market leader with 19.6% market share and 13.094 million units shipped in Q3, followed by Dell whose market share has slipped to 15.2% with 10.018 million units shipped. In Q3 2006, HP and Dell were locked in a titanic struggle for market leadership with almost identifical numbers of units shipped. Although the IDC figures show Lenovo as being the number three PC vendor worldwide, just ahead of Acer, that position is likely to be reversed when the next set of figures are released as Acer has acquired Gateway. However, Acer still posted an impressive year on year shipments growth of 59.2%, while Lenovo shipments grew 22.9%. Overall, global PC shipments grew year on year 15.5% for Q3 2007 on the back of strong laptop sales, according to IDC.
