THE DATA
In August 2023, fierceelectronics.com projected that international PC sales would decrease by 14%, year-over-year, which would be the largest decrease in history. Fiercelectronics.com described it as “the most in 40 years”.
If international PC sales decreased by 30% year-over-year in the 1st Quarter of 2023, 15% year-over-year in the 2nd Quarter of 2023, and 9% in the 3rd Quarter of 2023, then how could the annual decrease in 2023 be just 14%, as predicted by fierceelectonics.com?
It cannot be. Fierce Electronics is a baldfacedly-lying Illuminist propaganda organ. I have exposed their duplicity by using what was known in the old days as “fact checking”.
In the 1st Quarter of 2023, international PC sales decreased by 30%, year-over-year.
Gartner said it was because of “economic uncertainties and a lack of purchase motivation”.
