CTOnews.com, October 11 / PRNewswire-FirstCall-Asianet /-- according to the preliminary results of IDC's quarterly global tracking report on personal computing devices, PC shipments continued to decline in the third quarter of 2023, with global shipments of 68.2 million units, down 7.6 percent from the same period last year.

While demand and the global economy remain sluggish, PC shipments have increased in the past two quarters, slowing year-on-year decline, indicating that the market is out of the doldrums, IDC said.

In terms of manufacturers, Lenovo, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Apple and Asustek ranked in the top five, of which only Hewlett-Packard grew 6.4% year-on-year, while the other four brands all declined.

IDC reported that while most shipments of the top five manufacturers recorded double-digit declines in the current quarter, the sharp decline in Apple shipments was due to a disadvantage compared with the same period last year, which recovered and performed better during the shutdown in the third quarter of 2022. In addition, Hewlett-Packard's growth is mainly due to the normalization of inventory.
