-TEXTO:

WHEN the personal computer (PC) turned 25 last year, many anniversary articles read like obituaries. There was general agreement that the PC had become a commodity product, its makers mere box-shifters, and that growth prospects were mediocre. Further consolidation was all the industry had to look forward to. The announcement on August 27th that Acer, a Taiwanese PCmaker, would pay $710m to buy Gateway, a smaller American rival, seems to fit that picture.

The combined firm will be the world's third-largest PC-maker by unit shipments. Acer will have the size and global presence to compete with the two American heavyweights, Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Dell, as well as Lenovo, a Chinese firm which will drop to fourth place if the deal goes ahead. But the takeover also shows that there is still life in the PC business—and will be for years to come.

This year the number of PCs sold will reach an all-time high of nearly 260m. Much of the growth is being generated by consumers and small businesses. Both increasingly prefer laptop PCs to desktops; in some countries, such as Japan, the former already outsell the latter. In America, the world's biggest PC market, this will happen by the end of the year, according to IDC, a marketresearch firm. Above all, emerging economies such as China and India are making manufacturers happy: their rising middle classes and small businesses have discovered the PC. In China, shipments are growing nearly four times as fast as in America.

If China stays on the same economic track, it would become the world's largest economy in 2027, surpassing the United States, according to projections by Goldman, Sachs & Co., a Wall Street investment bank. And unlike Japan, which rose in the 1980s only to fade again, China still has a huge pool of workers to tap and an emerging middle class that is just starting to reach critical mass. Many development economists believe China still has 20 years of fairly high growth ahead.

The deal, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said in an Aug. 13 speech to Parliament, is "another step in our journey to regain our due place in global councils."
