Lenovo passes HP to become the world's No.1 PC maker

Lenovo has surpassed HP as the number one maker of PCs. HP lost the top spot after maintaining the position for six years. Lenovo grabbed the lead by consistenly growing shipments 10 percent year over year. HP's PC shipments, on the other hand,  declined by 16 percent.

Lenovo is famed for its focus on enterprise as well as its build-to-order business.
