Acer soon to become market leader in notebooks and will leave HP behind

Twinkle — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 16:00:12 +0000

Acer can very soon become the leader in the global consumer notebook market (in the third quarter of 2009). This means that it has the potential to surpass HP in notebook shipments over the next few months.The shipment gaps are reducing slowly and gradually. HP shipped around 4.86 million consumer notebooks in the second quarter with Acer is somewhere close at 4.75 million units. Acer is steadily growing and strengthening its root in the market. But, on the other hand, HP is still a very strong competitor to beat and Acer is trying its level best to boost its sales through its thin-and-light Timeline and Travelmate series.Commentary: Acer is already the top netbook marker and we are very sure that netbooks have played a strong role in making Acer the market leader in notebooks.
