HP grabs 4th quarter PC sales crown, but Dell was number one in 2003

CNET: "Hewlett-Packard snatched the PC market-leader crown back from Dell in 2003's fourth quarter. Hewlett-Packard overtook Dell to become the world's largest PC maker in the fourth quarter, in a market that is both growing and becoming more difficult. PC shipments grew 12 percent to 15 percent in the fourth quarter in terms of units and around 11 percent for 2003 as a whole, according to, respectively, research firms Gartner and IDC; substantially more than predictions from a year ago. In 2004, shipments are expected to grow 10.9 percent worldwide according to Gartner and 11.4 percent according to IDC ... For the year, though, Dell remained No. 1, hitting a worldwide market share of 16.9 percent, up 25 percent from the overall figure for 2002 of 15.1 percent. HP's annual market share came in at 16.4 percent worldwide, up 14.5 percent from its share of 16 percent for 2002 as a whole."
