Acer has pushed Toshiba out of its number three ranking in worldwide notebook sales.<\/p>\n

The Q4 2005 marketshares from preliminary Gartner Dataquest results award Acer notebooks with the highest year-on-year growth in the US market, a No. 1 ranking in EMEA and No. 3 in Asia Pacific.<\/font>
The stunning 66.7 per cent year-on-year growth is a testament to the company’s successful strategy to drive brand name notebook prices to whisper thin margins backed up by the company’s manufacturing prowess.<\/font><\/p>\n

The move into the number three spot in Asia Pacific was the result of a 117.1 per cent growth result – the highest among the top-ten vendors.<\/font><\/p>\n

According to the Dataquest figures, Acer’s number four spot for the Total PC market is thanks to a healthy year-on-year growth of 56.2 per cent.<\/font><\/p>\n

Acer also ranked No. 3 in EMEA and No. 5 in Asia Pacific, with respective year-on-year growths of 48.3% and 62.4%, both growth rates were the highest among the top-five vendors.
Though Dell and HP have a stranglehold on the US market, Acer has preformed admirably there too with a 145.3 increase over the year ago quarter in Total PC sales and 202.6 per cent in the notebook only segment. Notably Acer was the only growing desktop brand among the top-ten vendors.<\/p>\n
