PC sales slide

But the PC is not dying this time

Beancounters at analysts IDC have added up some numbers and divided by their shoe size and reached the conclusion that shipments of PCs have finally slowed down after two years of double-digit growth.

IODC said that sales declined worldwide by 5.1 per cent year-on-year in Q1 2022 due partly to rising costs and market saturation.

However, IDC said the news was not all doom and gloom and did not represent the "downward spiral" which was predicted by Steve Jobs and his henchmen in the Tame Apple Press when they were trying to hawk the iPhone.

Even though notebook PCs declined, desktops grew slightly. For another, the numbers were much better than expected.

Vendors still shipped over 80 million desktops, notebooks and workstations during the quarter – and did so for a seventh consecutive quarter.
