The Nordic PC market grew more than 20% in Q1 2004 compared to Q1 2003. With growth above 20% the Nordic PC market kept the momentum of late 2003 in Q1 2004, with a total of 830,000 desktop and portable PCs being shipped in the four countries - the highest number ever recorded in Q1. Though the market is fuelled by very low prices, they seem to have settled and are not expected to drop further quarter on quarter. Other factors contributing to growth include a strong upgrade cycle from businesses.
