Now here’s something to celebrate.

Just read this news flash over at MLive.com that puts Acer AHEAD of Lenovo for the first time.

The title and focus of the article is about HP’s 4 point lead over Dell but the real news (for me anyway) happens a little further down:

Under IDC’s measure, China’s Lenovo Group Ltd. tied Taiwan-based Acer Inc. for third place in worldwide shipments, each achieving a 6.7 percent slice of the market. Gartner’s found Acer with a slight lead over Lenovo for the first time, garnering a 6.8 percent share compared to Lenovo’s 6.3 percent.

Wonder how long we’ll have to wait for official confirmation?
