August 01, 2006

    BEIJING, Aug. 1 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Analysys
International, a leading Internet based provider of
business information about Technology, Media and Telecom
industries in China, says that China's laptop PC shipments
reached 1.012 million units in the second quarter of 2006,
representing an increase of 1.6% over the first quarter;
the laptop market value reached RMB 8.68 billion, up 2.2%
quarter over quarter, in its recently released report China
Laptop Market Quarterly Tracker Q2 2006.  

    Compared with the second quarter of 2005, laptop
shipments in Q2 2006 increased 45%, and the market value
increased 9.7%. Analysys International says prices of
laptop PC have been constantly falling, which is the reason
why the growth of shipments is far faster than the growth of
market value.

    According to the report, in the second quarter, Lenovo,
Hewlett-Packard and Dell continued to lead the laptop market
in China, with market share of 34.1%, 11.0% and 9.4%
respectively. 

    As price falls, Chinese users of laptop PC are growing
rapidly, accounting for 30.04% of the total market,
reaching 304,000 units in the second quarter of 2006.

    Mid-range and low-end products remained as market
mainstream. Shipments of laptops pricing at RMB 5001-7000
accounted for 33% of the total market, which are mostly
bought by domestic users.
