I recently wrote about the troubles at Dell. Here is more proof of the downturn at DellBusinessInsider is reporting that Acer (LSE: ACID), the Taiwanese computer maker has posted another solid quarter of global PC sales, according to new data from Gartner.

The Asian and emerging markets drove Acer’s growth. It has also successfully ridden the explosion in netbook demand. The netbook market is drying up now, though thanks to Apple’s iPad. This could give Dell an opening, if it can execute well (a big if lately) and Taiwan based Acer has problems cracking the mainland China market.
