HP challenges Gartner report showing it in second place
Gartner says that during the third quarter of 2012, Lenovo claimed 15.7% of the market and took the lead spot from HP, which took 15.5% of the market.
However, HP has challenged the findings, arguing that Gartner’s report does not take workstation PCs into account, and that an IDC report for the same period paints a more accurate picture. According to IDC figures, HP holds 15.9% of the PC market with Lenovo in second place with 15.7%.
HP said in a statement: “While there are a variety of PC reports in the market, some don’t measure the market in its entirety. The IDC analysis includes the very important workstation segment and is therefore more comprehensive.”
