Computer maker Dell optimistic about Asian growth

The growing popularity of smartphones and tablet PCs has hurt sales of personal computers.

As a result, some of the leading PC makers faced challenging times in 2012.

However, Amit Midha, president for Asia-Pacific at Dell computers, told the BBC's Leisha Chi that personal computer sales are likely to rebound this year.

He added that emerging Asian economies will be key to the firm's expansion in the region.
