Abstract
The global top-5 notebook brands, not including Apple, saw their combined shipments rise over 30% on month in May, while the top-3 ODMs together also achieved a similar shipment growth thanks to a recovery in North America's and Europe's education sectors and vendors' keen price cuts on older-generation consumer models for clearing up inventory.
Hewlett-Packard (HP) regained its title as the largest brand in May, surpassing Lenovo in shipments, contributed mainly by increased education procurement orders from North America and Eastern Europe.
Lenovo also enjoyed robust shipment growth in May with inventory replenishment demand from channels in Europe and China.
