 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Hewlett-Packard Co. continued to steal a major slice of the personal computer market from struggling rival Dell Inc. in the first quarter — and analysts said HP still has room to grow.
HP said revenue from laptop sales jumped 40 percent in the quarter compared with the same period a year ago. At the same time, revenue from desktop computer sales dropped 1 percent as their portable counterparts become increasingly pervasive.
Analysts said the surging laptop sales indicated HP was making aggressive market-share gains at Dell's expense in a fast-growing industry segment and has enough momentum to extend its expansion.
