When the global COVID-19 pandemic began, electronics sales arose.
As people accept work-from-home setups, many of them decide to purchase laptops and personal computers so that their daily work tasks can be completed.

However, this 2022, PC shipments plunged by around 74 million, which is 15% less compared to the previous year.
Although this is the case, the computer shipments of Apple increased by 13.5% (from 7,174 in Q3 2021 to 10,060 in Q3 2022).
Jitesh Ubrani, research manager for the worldwide mobile device trackers at IDC, explained that the likes of Apple and other key companies in the PC market helped reduce the impact of the decreasing PC shipments.
But, computer shipments of Lenovo and other giant PC makers decreased.

On the other hand, HP Inc. also experienced a drastic PC shipment decrease (from 17,622 to 12,706).
