Nine months after losing its number two ranking in the global PC sales market, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Dell retook the runner-up position in the second quarter of 2010 as rival Acer Inc. suffered a sales setback during the period, according to the latest report from market research firm iSuppli Corp.
Dell in the second quarter shipped 10.5 million units worldwide, down a negligible 1.2 percent from 10.7 million units in the first quarter. This gave Dell a 12.8 percent share of global shipments, down from 13.1 percent in the first quarter. However, Acer experienced a 6.2 percent shipment decline in the second quarter, with its shipments falling to 10.2 million units, down from 10.9 million in the first quarter. As a result, Acer’s share declined to 12.4 percent, down from 13.3 percent in the first quarter, consumer electronics research from iSuppli indicated.
