Reports of the PC's demise are oft exaggerated. But there's no getting away from the fact that sales shrank for eight consecutive quarters—or two years in old money—after the pandemic-fuelled sales boom. Things have not been good, peeps.
Happily, the latest figures for the second quarter of 2024 from market analysts IDC paint a much brighter picture. Q2 saw PC sales grow 3% versus the same period in 2023. That follows a positive Q1 2024, which was up 1.5% over 2023, so this is more than just a blip.
