Research firms IDC and Gartner both say that global PC sales are way up, despite the fact that U.S. sales have slowed to around 3%. It looks like Dell is also doing much better these days running a tight race with HP for the number one spot and well ahead of the likes of Acer, Lenovo and Toshiba.

Even with growth in U.S. sales slowing to around 3 percent, overseas gains boosted global first-quarter PC shipments 14.6 percent, according to IDC, and to 12.3 percent by Gartner's count. That's because the U.S. accounted for just 23 percent of global shipments in the first quarter compared with 25 percent a year ago.
