Dell slips a spot

For the first time in eight years, Dell is not the largest shipper of PCs in the United States.

Dell was severely challenged by tough competition in the retail space. This, combined with the weak U.S. professional market, dropped Dell into the No. 2 position in the overall U.S. market. Acer’s strong growth was fueled by low priced mobile PCs, its solid presence in the retail space, as well as in channels.
