HP tops PC shipments in India, Dell close behind: Gartner PC shipments in India continue to fall. In the first quarter of 2016, PC shipments in the country totalled nearly 2 million units, a 7.4% decrease over the first quarter of 2015, according to Gartner. Apple enjoyed eight consecutive quarters of year-on-year Mac sales increases before posting a 4% drop in units sold during the last three months of 2015. Analysts said those companies benefited from a healthy US market, consumer interest in new laptops running Google 's Chrome software, and seasonal purchases by public agencies.Microsoft's new Windows 10 software hasn't given PC sales much of a boost. Global PC shipments fell to 62.4 million in the last quarter, down 4.5% from a year earlier, according to researchers at International Data Corp. Analysts at a second firm, Gartner, estimated that drop at 5.2%.
