The PC Industry is achieving a significant milestone this year: One million PCs sold per day. I think this momentum will continue and we're certainly investing for the continuing growth of the PC Industry. We're not alone though. Gartner believes that this year's growth will be 18% in units and in fact they're projecting next year 2011 will also be another 18% unit growth year over year."
What's driving this growth? Otellini said that's it's a combination of emerging markets, more disposable income and
finally the shift from one PC per household to one PC per person due to the wide adoption of laptops. This is leading an untapped market, stated Otellini.
