Global PC shipments are up 8% overall compared to last year, due to Microsoft killing off Windows 10 and 'strategic inventory adjustments related to certain US import tariffs'

In 2023, research suggested that the decline in global PC shipments was so bad that it was "unparalleled in the industry's recorded history." Fast forward two years, and things are far rosier, with one analyst stating that in the past three months, shipments were up 9.4% compared to 2024. Now, another market research firm has confirmed the good news, claiming that global shipments improved by 8.1% overall, with some vendors improving by as much as 17%.

That's according to Counterpoint Research, in a brief report posted last week. Leading the pack is Lenovo, with the aforemented 17% rise in shipments year-on-year, closely followed by Apple and Asus (15% and 14%, respectively).
