Acer said its goal for 2008 is to sell 20 million PCs per year, while doubling its commitment to markets outside its traditional territories of Europe and Asia. This may actually be a conservative estimate. For 2006, hardware analysis firm iSuppli predicted Acer shipped 13.2 million PCs worldwide. But for the first quarter of 2007 alone, Acer officially toppled Lenovo for the world's #3 spot, shipping 4.2 million PCs in just that quarter.
