China Laptop Sales Surged 47.5% in Q2

BEIJING, Aug 12, 2008 (SinoCast via COMTEX) -- LNVGY | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- China's laptop sales surged 47.5% from a year earlier to 1.897 million units in the second quarters of 2008, showed the data of CCID Consulting, a leading IT market research and consulting company.

The top five computer makers led by Lenovo Group Limited (SEHK: 0992) took 71.4% of the Chinese market.

Dual core processors have become the mainstream configuration for laptops. The hardware tended to have big screens, large capacity, and high definition. VISTA was still unable to beat Windows XP in the operating system market.

Laptops are likely to take the place of desktops in the mounting home computer market, where Dell Inc. (Nasdaq: Dell) was enlarging its share after broadening retail channels, and Samsung was consolidating its foothold after product and price adjustment.

The whole laptop market, and even the IT market, saw growth in the medical computing, traffic and transportation, as well as logistics fields, because purchase from the government and industrial customers lessened, and equipment procurement for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games had been over.
