Acer surpassed Lenovo in the first quarter as the world's third largest PC maker in terms of units shipped, iSuppli said.
Acer's PC shipments soared by 45.8% to reach 4.2 million units, up from 2.9 million the same period a year ago. As a result, Taiwan-based Acer attained a market share of 6.8%, beating China-based Lenovo by a 0.4 percentage point. It was the first time Acer has risen to third place, the company's highest ranking to date.
Top-ranked PC maker Hewlett-Packard also performed well in the quarter, boosting its sales by 26.5% to 10.7 million units. The No. 5 performer Toshiba's shipments rose 13.8% to 2.6 million units.
Second-place Dell was the only company in the top five to suffer a decline. Shipments fell 6.8% to 9 million units. The drop, however, was less than in the fourth quarter, when shipments from the company dropped 8.6% year over year, iSuppli said.
