PC sales in the Asia-Pacific region rose 8% year on year in the second quarter of 2009, the region’s first increase of the past three quarters.Chinese computer maker Lenovo was top dog with 18.5% of the action, according to researcher IDC.
Ryan Ma, director of IDC’s personal system business for the Asia-Pacific region, said the economic situation was continuing to affect most countries’ sales of commercial PCs, and that China "saved" the PC market in the Asia-Pacific region.
