Dell slips to #3 in latest market share rankings

In the latest market share rankings through iSuppli, Dell is shown to be the only major computer manufacturer to decrease overall shipments comparing Q3 sales to the last year. In the same report HP grew 7% and Acer and Lenovo were up almost 17% worldwide.

This doesn’t include any Black Friday or near-Christmas sales which might have improved Dells figures, but in the same light it would have improved competitors sales just as much. One thing we can take away from this is that in a time when everyone wants cheaper computers, releasing another $1,800 thin and light ultraportable probably wasn’t the best idea.
