‘PCs not dead yet’
SINGAPORE — Personal computer (PC) sales have continued their downward trend for the second quarter of this year, according to reports by research companies IDC and Gartner last Friday.
Asia-Pacific numbers have been slipping for five consecutive quarters and the decline is reflected across all regions compared to a year ago, Gartner said, citing preliminary numbers.
News reports jumped on the data, with headlines screaming the death of the PC. Yet, despite the irrefutable data, analysts and manufacturers are cautioning that it might still be too early to organise its funeral.
