Although everyone obsessed about China, Europe turned out to be a pretty good market for PC makers last year.

PC shipments to the Europe, Middle East and African region came to 72.6 million in 2005, or 33.2 percent of the total shipped during the year, according to research firm Gartner. North America accounted for 67.1 million, or 30.7 percent, of shipments.

This marked the first time that Europe saw more PC shipments than the U.S. In 2004, 62.4 million PCs shipped to North America while 62 million went to Europe. European shipments grew 17.1 percent during the last year while North American shipments grew by 7.5 percent.
