Submission + - Annual global PC sales grow for the first time in 8 years (marketwatch.com)
Lenovo retains title for world’s No. 1 PC maker “The market will still have its challenges ahead, but this year was a clear sign that PC demand is still there despite the continued insurgence of emerging form factors and the demand for mobile computing,” Reith said.
For Lenovo, the Black Friday deals & Lenovo eCoupon codes may also have had a major influence on the excellent performance.
“The PC market experienced growth for the first time since 2011, driven by vibrant business demand for Windows 10 upgrades, particularly in the U.S., EMEA and Japan,” said Mikako Kitagawa, senior principal analyst at Gartner. “We expect this growth to continue through this year even after Windows 7 support comes to an end this month, as many businesses in emerging regions such as China, Eurasia and the emerging Asia/Pacific have not yet upgraded.”
