There’s no two ways about it, 2023 was a bit of a disaster when it comes to raw PC sales numbers. According to the latest data from IDC and Gartner, overall PC sales were down nearly 15% compared to 2022 and the lowest since 2006. Indeed, the 14.8% drop (to be exact) is the largest ever recorded for the industry.
