European PC market shrinks
 

More bad news for the PC market comes from a report which said that shipments in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) fell 21.6 percent in the second quarter of this year.

IDC said the industry in EMEA is suffering from unfavourable exchange rates which means prices of PCs are higher and demand is weaker.

The dismal figures are somewhat skewed by the fact that PC sales were very strong in the first half of 2014, when XP replacements became necessary.

The industry is also waiting for the launch of Windows 10, which also led to manufacturers reducing stock in the channel.
