The new Gartner research and IDC numbers for PC sales in Q3 are out. You read it hear first. Dell (DELL)will have disappointing numbers when it reports earnings.
Reuters writes that "HP shipped 19.6 percent of all personal computers in the period, a 33 percent leap from the year-earlier period." Dell stayed in the No. 2 spot with an estimated 15.2 percent of the market, but its shipments grew 3.8 percent to 10.2 million units. That growth of under 4% is not going to earn any fans on Wall St.
Lenovo and Acer both have about 8% of the market.
Dell’s shares have moved up about 15% over the last six months in the hope that Michael Dell could fix the firm he founded
Investors are going to have to wait.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?
The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.
Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!
Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
