Apple Macs Sees Growth While PC Vendors See Declines in Western Europe Sales



YNOT EU – The results are in for second quarter computer sales in Western Europe, and Apple is faring a lot better than the world’s biggest PC vendors.

Forbes is reporting that shipments of Apple computers to Western Europe rose in the second quarter of 2011 even as shipments from the world’s major PC makers declined. PC sales fell 18.9% during the same quarter where Apple’s shipments rose slightly by 0.5%.

Apple shipped 879,000 units in Q2, compared to 12.6 million units for all other PC vendors combined.

The largest supplier of PCs to Western Europe is now HP, although the company saw a decline of 6.1% during the quarter, down to 3.2 million units.

The biggest loser was Acer, which saw a whopping 44% decline in shipments.

Samsung was the only computer vendor other than Apple to see any growth in the UK in the second quarter.
