Can Sony Topple Sales of Lenovo?

When it comes to Indian PC market, Dell and HP were defeated by Chinese PC manufacturer Lenovo for the first time in the first quarter of 2012, according to an IDC market research report.

According to IDC, nearly 2.63 million units were shipped in the first three months of this year during when the consumers grew the maximum at 19.6%.

Lenovo was claimed to have a market share of 15.8% in the time period of January to March 201 and earlier the company had only 10% share, being in the fourth position.

Hence, with the launch of Windows 8 ultrabooks in India, Sony has taken up the big fight with Lenovo product line making surging sales in the nation and there is a prominent chance that Sony can gain a sweet spot in the market share with the integration of Microsoft's new Windows 8 OS and the groundbreaking features enthrusted in the new Vaio lineup.
