Abstract
This IDC study reviews the performance of the worldwide PC
market during the second quarter of 2009 (2Q09). It looks
at the market performance of desktop and portable PCs and
provides some commentary on x86 servers in major geographies, including
the United States, Western Europe, Japan, Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) (APEJ),
and the rest of the world (ROW).
"Largely due to the
unexpected resilience of consumer shipments during the global recession, the
PC market continues to outperform predictions. Also driving the performance
are the declining costs of entry-level systems, spurred by the
explosion of the mininotebook market," says Andrew Hanson, analyst, United
States Quarterly PC Tracker.
