Who Gets Helped by IBM's PC Retreat?
Hewlett-Packard has zoomed to the top spot in home-PC sales, with longtime leader Compaq not far behind. But with fourth-place IBM now pulling out of retail sales, direct-seller Gateway could get a lift:
| Home-PC market share, August, 1999 |
| Hewlett-Packard | 35.3% |
| Compaq | 29.2% |
| emachines | 13.5% |
| IBM | 11.1% |
| Apple | 2.8% |
| Others | 8.1% |
| What current IBM customers say they'll buy next: |
| Gateway | 41% |
| Dell | 31% |
| Compaq | 27% |
| Hewlett-Packard | 15% |
| Packard Bell | 9% |
| Apple | 8% |
| Acer | 3% |
| Micron | 2% |
