If you think about it, when was the last time someone talked
about some new software they got for their personal computer compared to the
new app they downloaded to their smartphone or tablet? This is because PCs are
old news while smartphones and tablets are still the new hot ticket.
With that being said it’s no wonder that personal computer
sales have been declining for some time and are still on their way down. We
don’t think they will be going away any time soon but their popularity seems to
be. Apparently for the 6th quarter in a row, PC sales have been
dropping which of course causes concern for PC manufactures and PC operating
system vendors such as Microsoft.
Research group IDC said the market fell nearly 8% and
expects the PC market to bottom out next year and then start to recover in 2015
when people will have to replace their current computers assuming they don’t
just switch to tablets. The drops were from other countries outside of the US
according to their research.
IDC said Acer and Asus suffered declines of about 34% but
report that Lenovo, HP and Dell have actually grown up to 3% thanks to the US
market for PCs.
