Lots of changes are taking place in the global arena and in a faster pace than ever before. Well, we are cracking down on the tech industry worldwide instead of the political and social spheres. Truly speaking such impetus to proceed surpassing others was rarely found in the earlier days. Take for instance Acer Inc., Taiwan-based celebrated multinational electronics manufacturer. As per latest records, the company has exceeded Dell to become the world's second-largest computer vendor during the third quarter of 2009.

What is the next aim of the company then? It seems that the multinational electronics manufacturer is desirous to surpass Hewlett Packard, top-notch PC maker in the global arena. The picture may get clearer if we look into the September quarter. It reveals that HP has retained its position with about 20.2 percent of the market, whereas Acer reported 14 percent share of the market as compared to Dell's 12.7 percent.


How does Acer want to proceed then? In accordance with market sources, Acer has shipped in between 3.4-3.6 million notebooks (including netbooks) in September month, beating both HP and Dell. The info is crucial if we take into account Acer Chairman, Mr. J.T. Wang’s recent statement. As indicated by the statement, the company will ship over 40 million notebooks in 2010, a number that would challenge the top position of HP in the portable PC sales. The statement made it clear that the company is optimistic of a growth of revenue by more than 70 percent over the next three years.

What is the greatest reason of this emboldened stance? It is the age-old maxim Nothing succeeds like success and Acer is in success. The reason for the company’s high sales and market shares is the low-cost Netbook PCs unlike the consideration of many experts who said that the take-over of Gateway Inc. and controlling power of Packard Bell have strengthened Acer’s multi-brand strategy.

It is worthwhile to mention that Acer is not only working on PC market, but is also entering into Smartphone business with the introduction of its new Smartphone, the Acer Liquid A1. The new device is powered by Qualcomm’s 768 MHz Snapdragon processor and Android platform.
