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.
