NEW DELHI: Sound economic growth and buoyant buying sentiment have pushed up PC sales by 36 per cent, at 2.3 million, during the first half (H1) of this fiscal (2005-06).

The laptop, printer and other monitor sell also went up. People bought more laptops, laser printers and bigger monitors and the growth came largely from the small towns and cities.
