Everyone seems to be confusing Acer with Asus. Asus is the “better” one of the two. Acer is the worse, “cheaper” one. It’s a good way to make the distinction, usually.

Also, I think she missed Toshiba. 2012 seems to have brutal for them (-30% decline).

What a terribly written and edited article. 90 million PCs shipped in October and December – wait, I mean Q4. Acer lost – no, they gained. Not just gains, but positive gains.

Deadlines are a pain, and CES can’t make things any easier. But please…

Dell really appears to be getting clobbered in PCs. I know they have said that they want to move away from PCs and be an enterprise company, but I’m not so sure their strategy is going to work.

It is going to take them a while to buy up all the companies they need to compete in enterprise. So, they are going to need that PC money for at least another five years or so. At the rate they are declining in PCs they aren’t going to last that long.

You can’t just jump overnight into a completely new business. They should not be giving up in PCs so easily when they desperately need that money to keep buying up companies.

Reblogged this on raybanbizzy and commented: This article is particularly interesting considering I work at best buy and the influx of shoppers buying PC's seemed much more apparent than lat year.

“Worldwide, Dell and Acer were among those PC makers hit the hardest. Lenovo and Acer, which saw positive gains,”
Acer mentioned as both gaining and declining. Asus is gaining.
