#HP has reclaimed its throne as the top PC vendor unit shipper in the worldwide PC market, pushing #Lenovo to second place, according to Gartner. The analyst firm's figures from preliminary findings show that for the second quarter of 2017, HP surpassed 12.6 million PC unit shipments, a 20.8 per cent market share increase from its 12.2 million PC unit shipments the same time last year. “HP has achieved five consecutive quarters of year-over-year growth. Shipments grew in most regions, and it did especially well in the US market where its shipments growth far exceeded the regional average,” Gartner said, in a statement. As Lenovo’s global shipments declined 8.4 per cent in the second quarter of 2017 – to 12.1 million units – after two quarters of growth and year-over-year shipment declines in all key regions, it dropped a rank to fill the second position. Gartner principal analyst, Mikako Kitagawa, said the 2Q17 results could reflect Lenovo’s strategic shift from unit share gains to margin protection and that the strategic balance between share gain and profitability is a challenge for all PC vendors.
