In Q4, Gartner estimates global PC shipments grew 2.3% to 70.6M units; IDC estimates 4.8% growth to 71.8M units; both say Lenovo and HP lead PC shipment growth
After years of bad news, the PC market has a reason to celebrate before computer makers start shipping 5G and dual-screen devices.

PC volumes grew in 2019 for the first time since '11. Volumes were up 2.7% on the year and 4.8% in 4Q19! The PC certainly isn't dead. Win10 commercial push, pull-in around tariff and CPU shortage concerns, and demand for premium/gaming were large factors https://www.idc.com/...

IDC: PCs (including Macs which are down in sales but not including slate/tablets so unclear if Surface is in these figures) up 4.8% Q4 from Q4 2018: even if this is all Windows 7 to 10 replacements, maybe the PC... isn't dead? https://www.idc.com/...
