China Becomes The Biggest PC Market
China has become the world’s biggest market for personal computers with 69 million units shipped in 2012 compared with 66 million in the US, according to IHS. This is the effect of a huge demand in the country’s rural areas, which account for a major segment of the country’s 1.34 billion citizens.
