India's personal computer (PC) market is better than the rest of the world and low penetration level of the devices offers a good growth opportunity for the Taiwanese tech major Asus, senior company officials have said. The Taiwanese PC maker has seen positive growth in the Indian market. Asus India consumer and gaming PC vice president Arnold Su told PTI that "India's PC penetration per household is around 10 to 11 per cent.

Investors soon won't be able to follow Warren Buffett's every move in HP's stock if the billionaire's company keeps selling off shares of the printer and computer maker. Berkshire Hathaway's ownership of HP Inc. is about to drop below 10 per cent after it sold nearly 5 million shares, according to a regulatory filing by Buffett's company late Monday.
