- DIGITAL NOW RANKED AMONG LEADING PC VENDORS
-
-
- MAYNARD, Mass. -- January 20, 1993 -- Digital Equipment Corporation
- has penetrated the top-ten PC makers ranking for the first time,
- according to a monthly market study published by Computer
- Intelligence of La Jolla, California.
-
- "Digital was the fastest growing PC vendor in 1992,
- establishing Digital's credibility in Intel-based PC products. The
- forthcoming Digital Alpha AXP-PCs, running Microsoft's Windows NT
- operating system, should help Digital grow even more aggressively in
- 1993," said Dan Ness, senior industry analyst, Computer
- Intelligence. Digital launched its Desktop Direct catalog business
- in January, 1992, and introduced its popular DECpc LP family of
- desktop computers in August.
-
- "This month, Digital is included again in Computer
- Intelligence's monthly listing of fastest growing PC makers. No
- other vendor has had a stronger presence on that list in the past
- year," Ness said.
-
- Each month, Computer Intelligence conducts in-depth interviews
- with 4,500 computer purchasing managers at large and small
- establishments in the U.S. Computer Intelligence publishes its
- findings from these interviews in its monthly PC Market Monitor.
-
- Within the last 12 months, Digital's PC sales ramped up past
- about 20 other vendors in order to reach its current ranking of #9
- among PC industry leaders, according to Computer Intelligence.
