There’s been a massive drop in the shipments of personal computers (PC) by 5% between April and June as record revealed yesterday. Global shipments in the second quarter stood at 68.1 million units as per a report by Gartner a computer research group. This is down from a figure of 71.7 million earlier. Although the decline was expected due to the recession and the downturn in the global credit crunch a major factor the dip in the figures was still less than the originally predicted 9.8%. as a result there is revived hope based on these small signs that the market is recovering slowly but surely.
