There’s more positive news on the PC front, with one analyst firm declaring that laptop sales are up for the first quarter of this year, against traditional seasonal expectations (i.e. slower sales at the beginning of the year).
TrendForce’s figures for Q1 2017 show that 37.8 million notebooks were shipped around the globe, which represents a healthy 6.1% increase compared to the same period last year. This is another dose of positive news for the industry this year, compared to the consistent declines in PC shipment numbers we’ve become accustomed to seeing in past years.
