Lenovo will reportedly outsell Apple and the iMac in the all-in-one PC category next year, reports DigiTimes.

The site reports that after strong growth of 45-50% in 2009 and 2010, demand for AIO PCs has begun to cool down. Shipment growth in 2011 is expected to reach 31.1% and growth may slow down to below 20% in 2012.

Apple's lead in the sector is about to erode with Lenovo forecasted to surpass the Cupertino company in AIO PC shipments.

Although Apple's iMac series has advantages in industrial design, the product series has shown only limited room for change in specifications. However, Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Lenovo have delivered above-the-standard industrial design in their products, while offering better hardware specifications, price and a variety of choices. Therefore, Apple's leading position in the AIO PC market will be taken by Lenovo in 2012. Apple's iMac shipments in 2011 also suffered an on-year drop, reaching only 3.7 million units.
