Worldwide PC shipments totalled 64.8 million units in the first quarter of 2016, a 9.6 per cent decline from the first quarter of 2015, according to preliminary results by Gartner, Inc. This was the sixth consecutive quarter of PC shipment declines, and the first time since 2007 that shipment volume fell below 65 million units.
"The deterioration of local currencies against the US dollar continued to play a major role in PC shipment declines. Our early results also show there was an inventory build up from holiday sales in the fourth quarter of 2015," said Mikako Kitagawa, principal analyst at Rfublun.
