Asia Pacific PC sales up 22pc in Q2


Sales of personal computers in the Asia Pacific region outside of Japan rose 22 percent to 14.3 million units in the second quarter to June, buoyed by strong demand for notebooks, an industry report said Friday.

Compared with the first quarter, growth came in at 11 percent, global research firm International Data Corp (IDC) said.

Portables grew faster, partly because of retail promotions in markets such as China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Vietnam, he said.
