US shoppers abandon PC makers in hour of need
Global sales fall for 13th straight quarter.
America’s PC market sneezed in Q4 calendar and the rest of the world caught a cold: global sales declined in the final three months of last year, stats from Gartner indicated – although rival IDC did not concur.
Shipments into the channel – retailers and tech distributors – dropped 2 per cent year-on-year to 71.6 million, according to Gartner. This was based on growth in Asia and Latin America, a minor decline in EMEA and an 8 per cent drop in the US.
