Apple has rightly made a big deal of the fact that its Mac sales have continued to grow, in spite of a contracting PC market
.
.
But Cupertino certainly isn't alone in having figured out how to win at
desktops and laptops: Lenovo has just reported big gains in its
full-year revenue and profits, and it claims that its PC shipments in
the US overtook Apple's for the first time, grabbing the No. 3 spot
behind the more stagnant giants, HP and Dell.
This claim is based on
data for the last three months, likely with a bit of help from analysts
at IDC, although it's worth pointing out that Gartner still had Lenovo
in fourth place
in the US as recently as April. Whichever pundits you listen to, Lenovo
has now dominated the PC market globally for around a year, thanks to
its ever-expanding ThinkPad
line, while also growing its non-Windows tablet and smartphone sales --
with the latter soon to become a lot more prevalent in the US now that
the company owns Motorola.
