Long-time electronics manufacturer Hewlett-Packard has been declared the most successful computer manufacturer of 2007.
According to figures released by Gartner, HP shipped 49.4 million computers worldwide during the past 12 months, an increase of 30% for the firm over its 2006 sales figures.
But Dell, once the darling of the PC world, saw its sales slow, shipping 38.7 million computers during 2007, a rise of just 1.7% over its 2006 figures.
The announcement shows that Hewlett-Packard now holds a record 18.2% of the worldwide PC market.
