Dell and Hewlett-Packard (HP), respectively, were the fourth and fifth largest brands in the China market for desktop PCs in terms of shipment volume during the fourth quarter of 2005, according to China-based consulting firm Analysys International.

The quarterly shipment volume for desktop PCs in the China market kept increasing throughout 2005 but the corresponding shipment value continually decreased slightly due to price cuts from intense competition, with the average unit shipment value of 5,599 yuan (US$696) for last quarter dropping by 1.6% on-quarter and by 9.7% on-year, Analysys pointed out.

Models with retail prices ranging from 4,500-6,000 yuan accounted for more than 50% of the total shipment volume for last quarter, Analysys indicated.

Lenovo will only get bigger; Dell & HP won't be strong in China/India where the growth in PC sales will far exceed both U.S. and EU.
