Gartner is now projecting 19.7% growth in worldwide PC shipments this year. That would mean 366.1 million units with tablets accounting for 10.5 million. Gartner expects revenues to increase 12.2% to $245 billion, which is way more than the measly 1.9% increase it was projecting in December. That was when it was only figuring on 13.3% growth in demand before HP and Dell's early results turned more upbeat. All the action of course is in the mobile space. Gartner figures mobile PC growth will be up 90% over the next three years. Mobile is expected to account for 70% of demand this year, up from 55% last year.
