At the end past of block the analytical agency gartner published the forecast, according to which on the sales volumes of computers in the world will be lowered by 6% in comparison with last year. In 2010 an increase in the computers sales volumes by 10,3% can be observed.
Now analysts replaced their forecast to the more optimistic. At the end of this year the sales volume of computers can reach 285 ml pieces - this in all 2% less than the result of 2008 (291 ml pieces). The restoration of demand is caused predominantly by the sales of netbook and notebooks on the USA and China markets. Furthermore, drop in the demand for desktop computers slows down. The deliveries volumes in the fourth quarter can exceed the indices of the analogous period last year.
The release of Windows 7 will not substantially influence the demand restoration rates .

The deliveries volumes of netbook continue to grow, but their peak value will reach earlier than expected. On 2009 will be dispatched 25 ml netbook, in the following year this index will rise to 37 ml pieces.
