Worldwide PC shipments grew 16% to 71.9 million units in this year’s second quarter, according to Gartner, or by 15% to 70.6 million units according to IDC.

Hewlett-Packard held on to the top spot, growing slightly faster than the market (17.1% versus 16.0%), according to Gartner. However, Dell closed the gap slightly with 21.9% growth as it moved into retailing notebook PCs. Garter says: “Preliminary results showed Dell achieve over 40% year-over-year growth in mobile shipments for two consecutive quarters.”

The demand for worldwide pc’s seems to be continuing, I wonder if this is in new markets? If it is also related to Vista having been being out for a while now and people seeking to upgrade? Those new games/applications coming online that are optimized for the new platforms?

How many of the old pcs will be recycled or re-used?  We’ll have to see, do check it out, it’s an interesting read.
