I’ll have to give these a try.
The Incredible Shrinking Dell [Charts]: “Not too long ago, Dell was one of the fastest growing companies in the world. Now, it’s the only major PC manufacturer actually getting smaller. iSuppli’s quarterly report on computer shipments is a little dry, but today’s report that Dell’s shipments declined 5.9% caught our eye. It’s easy enough to blame the economy, but not when your major competitors are all growing, and especially not when Acer knocks you out of the number two spot. It’s true that netbooks and pricing are big factors in Acer’s success, and that Dell’s still second—barely—to HP in total shipments. But someone in Round Rock needs to realize that what’s true for plants and populations is also true for computer companies: if you don’t grow, you die. [iSuppli via Electronista]
