Brazil's PC Market is Third Largest in the World

A Brazil Quarterly PC Tracker reports says that the PC market grew 12% last year, with sales of 15.4 million notebooks, netbooks and desktops. 2011 consolidated Brazil as the third-largest PC market in the world, behind only China and the United States.


In the fourth quarter of last year 4.2 million computers were sold, with 40.8% of desktops and 59.2% laptops and notebooks. This represented an increase of 10% over the same period of 2010. "The fourth quarter was good, but could have been even better if not for the high dollar and difficulty in acquiring hard disk (HD) due to floods in Thailand,"
