ISuppli reports 2010 global PC shipments grow by 7% (sequentially) and by 10.3% (compared to 2009).
The firm's market research defies recent negative news about the market-- from Taiwanese motherboard OEM warnings to concerns over consumer spending.
However iSuppli says that even with government austerity measures, consumers and business continue purchasing PCs.
Desktops, notebooks and entry-level servers rise on both sequential and Y-o-Y basis in Q3 2010, with desktop PCs growing the most (11% increase from Q2 2010).
Mobile PC shipments show 4% sequential growth and 15% increase from Q3 2009.
ISuppli predicts global PC shipments will grow further in Q4, with a mid-single-digit increase over Q4 2009.
