HARDWARE TOP 100

The Hardware Top 100 is an online overview of the top computer- and communications hardware companies, ranked by annual hardware revenues... HP is no longer the world's largest hardware company: despite last years solid lead of US$10 billion dollar over Samsung, HP suffered substantially from the economic crisis, while Samsung posted modest growth, and consequently took the top spot. Foxconn (3) and LG Electronics (4) follow, the latter after posting an amazing 26% sales growth in calendar year 2009. Mobile phone maker Nokia from Finland follows on its heels with hardware revenues of US$ 40 billion.
