Hewlett Packard regained the top spot for PC sales after losing outto Apple four months ago according to the latest industry figurespublished yesterday by market research firm Canalys . The results reveal that HP managed a 40,000 unit lead over theiPhone and iPad maker, the result of a slip in sales of theirever-popular tablets which fell to 11.8 million units during in thefirst quarter of 2012. In total, Apple shipped 15.8 million unitsduring the three month period. "If you look at the US, pads are approaching 40% of all clientPC shipments," said Canalys VP and Principal Analyst, ChrisJones. "The rest of the market here was down slightly in Q1.The pad proposition for US consumers is very strong – thanksto the wider choice in content and apps – and the impact onthe other categories is more severe." Lenovo experienced further growth as well, coming in at third placewith a 50% year-on-year increase, which also saw the PC clientmarket grow 21% to 107 million units. Acer and Dell completed thetop five rankings, although both firms suffered with a decline inPC shipments during the Q1 period. The tablet sector enjoyed a 200% increase in shipmentsyear-on-year, with Apple's iPad rising to 19% of all PC shipments,a massive increase on the 7% share during the same period lastyear. Desktops and notebooks also experienced growth, with desktopshipments increasing by 8% and notebooks by 11%. Netbook shipmentscontinued to decline however, with only 5% of the total PC market,down from its high of 13% two years ago. These latest figures markthe sixth successive decline for the sector. "Most of the leading PC vendors have done a reasonable job ofoffsetting the declines in their netbook shipments over the pastyear with increased pad business," said Canalys ResearchAnalyst Tom Evans. "Samsung and Lenovo are two that stand outin terms of substantially increasing overall volume, though Asushas performed well too. The challenge is breaking out into thereally big volumes to challenge the leaders – Apple andAmazon. So far, only Samsung has shown it can routinely ship morethan a million pads a quarter.".
