Gartner Revises PC Forecast Upwards

Gartner thinks PC sales will do better…

Earlier this year Gartner expected a WW PC sales  decline of -12% but now it's only - 2% (285m units in 2009).

Sales Up

WW 80.9m units shipped in 3Q 09, a 0.5% increase from Q3 08.

EMEA showed a double-digit decline in Q3 as PC shipments fell to 26m units, a -10.1% from Q3 2008.

But Europe declined only 4.5% Q-to-Q, an indication of bottoming out of the slump and a modest return to seasonal patterns.
