Gartner and IDC studios have agreed on an exact first-quarter sales figure for PCs, and unfortunately they're not very good to say.
Computer sales continue to drop year by year
Both stated that 58.5 million PCs were sold in the first quarter, marking a reduction in worldwide sales from year to year. So far, 2019 seems to be following the downward trend in computer sales.
After six years of quarterly declines in PC sales, 2018 brought a positive second quarter, a flat third quarter, and then a negative fourth quarter.

The explanations for this drop could be explained by the shortage of Intel processors, but the reality is that people do not need to buy PCs as often. Models are fast and reliable enough today for most tasks, especially when it comes to surfing the web or watching YouTube videos, which is what most do on a computer.
Gartner estimates that global PC sales fell 4.6% to 58.5 million units in the first quarter of 2019. The top six vendors were Lenovo, HP, Dell, Apple, Asus and Acer.
Gartner found that among the top six, only the top three saw gains, but these were less than the losses of their competitors. The rest of the market fell 20.9%.
Gartner chief analyst Mikako Kitagawa said in a statement: “We saw the start of a pickup in PC sales in mid-2018, but the CPU shortage (Intel) affected all PC markets and the segment of Chromebook. ''
