亚洲计算机销售额一季增长16%

　　IDC研究公司的数据显示，在1月到3月这一季度里，除日本以外的亚洲市场上计算机销售额较之去年同期增长了16%，达到了740万台。 　　IDC在一份声明中表示，上述销售额略高于预期。但是，与去年四季相比，因为季度销售情况的原因，销售额下降了5%，IDC分析师布莱恩-马（Bryan Ma）表示：“亚太地区的个人电脑市场在2004年一季形势稳定。未来一年前景看起来较为光明。”

　　今年一季，中国PC制造商联想公司仍然是亚太市场上的领头羊，其市场份额为10.9%，惠普紧随其后，市场份额为10.8%。IBM名列第三，市场份额为7.4%，随后是戴尔，市场份额为7.3%。虽然仅列第四位，但戴尔的销售额与去年同期相比却增长了多达51.5%，这一增幅是各个PC企业当中最高的。

　　SINGAPORE - Computer sales in Asia outside Japan rose 16 percent to 7.4 million units in the March quarter compared with the previous year, research showed.

　　Sales were slightly higher than expected, including in the key markets of Australia and India, International Data Corp. said in a statement.

　　Compared with the previous quarter, however, sales dipped 5.0 percent due to seasonal trends.

　　"The Asia Pacific region's personal computer market got off to a solid start in 2004," said IDC analyst Bryan Ma.

　　"The road to the upcoming year appears bright, as long as issues such as regional elections, China's WAPI encryption standard, and a destabilizing situation in Iraq do not get in the way."

　　China plans to implement a new WAPI standard on June 1, which would require all wireless imports to carry encryption technology produced only in China.

　　This has sparked concerns from major industry players, such as Intel, Texas Instruments and Broacom, that China is using unfair tactics to hinder competition.

　　In the first quarter of this year, China-based computer vendor Lenovo was the market leader with a 10.9 percent share of the market, closely followed by Hewlett Packard with 10.8 percent.

　　IBM was in third place with a 7.4 percent market share, followed by Dell with 7.3 percent to round up the top four.

　　Although in fourth place, Dell showed the sharpest year-on-year growth with a 51.5 rise in sales.
