According to well-known market research firm Gartner, according to data on the global PC sales fell 10.9% year-on-year in the first quarter, PC shipments also ushered in the fifth consecutive quarter of decline. Many areas in the United States, however, to be optimistic. The region overall shipments fell by only 1.4% last quarter PC, is already the smallest year-on-year fall since 2012. The PC business, lenovo and dell even welcome the growth by 20% and 6.4%. Even just gives less than expected quarterly HP's PC business performance is still relatively stable, the company's PC shipments only slightly decreased by 0.5%.
Though PC isn't much of the decline in the overall shipments by 1.4%, the good news, but compared to previous quarters is in PC shipments in the United States a "free fall" of slide is quite satisfactory. In the previous quarter, PC shipments fell 9.6% in the U.S. market, while the decline in the proportion is 5.7% a year ago.
, principal research analyst at beichuan meijia (Mikako Kitagawa) said, "this is the main reason is that professional users finally decided to upgrade their old Windows XP system. Moreover, Microsoft has announced that it would stop support for XP system next year, which is on the other hand stimulate the enterprises to upgrade hardware determination."
And, of course, it is also a weakness. On the one hand, enterprise customers are currently have stepped up efforts to upgrade their systems to Windows platform 8. But at the same time, once the wave tide ebbed away, and the PC devices shipped again I'm afraid will once again usher in stagnation and even backwards.
Gartner believes that in either case, the traditional PC market atrophy is the fact that does not dispute. More and more PC users to give up to buy new laptop or desktop, to add to satisfy their daily needs of tablets. This means that more and more consumers believe that every family have one or two traditional PC has enough to cope with his job requirements, while the tablet will be further popularization.
Although the situation of the PC industry has been more clear now, but we still can't make wild speculations on the future of this field. Now, Microsoft is trying to break the traditional boundaries between PC, smartphone and tablet, and uniform experience to customers. Among them, part of the Microsoft "hybrid" equipment has successfully blurs the distinction between tablet PC and laptop. Low-end notebook market, on the other hand, seems to have started to attract the attention of more and more consumers. Among them, the Google (microblogging) its Chromebook will provide consumers with a complete desktop experience a cheap access to the Internet channel, and this trend is more and more get people's approval.
Chip maker Intel has said it will be later in the year to pick up a cheap touchscreen device Windows or Android operating system to launch the corresponding processor chip.
It is worth mentioning that with the continuous improvement of manufacturing process, a traditional laptop has become thinner, lighter, and has better battery life. Among them, apple's new Macbook Air is the best example. We expect that the Windows PC manufacturers will be through the launch a series of in the future with high resolution, ultra-thin high-end notebook products to deal with.
After considering all these factors above, we can obviously feel the "PC did not die, just gradually broke the inherent pattern in the past and continue to be active in the market". There is no doubt that cheap tablet consumers will continue to be in the future, but this does not mean that other devices have no survival space, because there are still many job is tablet computers couldn't do. This is known as "post-pc" one of the main definitions, and through simple data such as Gartner, the research institutions make accurate forecast.
