Demand for personal computers rose at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic as an increasing number of people found themselves working and taking classes from home. But now it seems that demand is decreasing considerably.
According to a report from Counterpoint, shipments fell by double digits between Q3, 2021 and Q3, 2022. Top PC makers including Lenovo, HP, Dell, and Asus saw shipments slide… though Apple actually saw an increase, likely due to the decision of company to launch new models late in the second quarter.
In other recent tech news from around the web, Amazon’s Fire TV Cube 3 is now available.. Apple’s new iPad and iPad Pro models are now shipping, with prices starting at $449 for the new 10.9-inch, 10th-gen iPad. Apple may be preparing a 16-inch iPad. The company has confirmed that an iPhone with a USB-C port is on the way (although it’s unclear if it will be available worldwide. The recently launched Microsoft Windows Dev Kit 2023 mini PC has a user-replaceable SSD. And a luxury phone maker. Vertu jumped on the web3 /crypto/DeFi bandwagon.
PC shipments in the third quarter of 2022 were down 15.5% from the same period a year earlier, falling to just over 71 million units shipped. Counterpoint blames inflation leading to “demand weakness across both consumer and business markets.” https://t.co/sz5FrP42nQ
