Samsung Snatches Seventh Place on Worldwide Laptop Market

Looks like Samsung might have a reason to brag and boast, having secured the seventh spot on the worldwide laptop market.

According to Yonhap News, Samsung's share of the global laptop market has increased from 1.4% in 2007 to 6.5% in the third quarter of 2011.

This puts it ahead of Sony and Apple, as well as the majority of other global players.

In other words, the share has quadrupled during the past four years.

One might say it has gone up by slightly over 100%, on average, each year since 2007, but the actual numbers are quite different.

For the sake of comparison, the same company shipped roughly 10 million in 2010 and just a measly 2.7 million in 2008.

For the whole year 2011, Samsung expects to ship a total of 14 million notebooks.
