Apple has been a global supplier of PC registered in the last quarter, after delivery of 13.6 million "personal computers", according to market research firm DisplaySearch. The company has two Macs and iPad tablet in his figures, however, as most reports do not include similar equipment tablet works with mobile operating systems in the PC category in general. Including the iPad, DisplaySearch says Apple computers shipped nearly 4 million more than second place HP, which shipped 9.7 million computers in the second quarter. Dell is the No. 3 spot with 7.5 million units, Acer was No. 4 with 7 million units and Lenovo completed the Top-5 with 4.8 million PCs shipped. Overall, the company found that the PC market growth continues to slow in the second quarter. "Preliminary results show a second consecutive quarter of A / decrease in growth rate of delivery," said Richard Shim, an analyst at DisplaySearch, said in a statement.
"While part of Y / Y decline can be attributed to a strong first half of 2010, rising Tablet PC shipment growth rate begins to point to dispatch mobile cannibalization." Full press release follows below DisplaySearch.
