    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    This is according to analyst Gartner’s figures, but other analysts have a different view of proceedings: IDC reckons this was the eighth straight quarter of “sales-out” shrinkage - meaning sales to retailers and distributors - and Canalys estimates the market actually grew three percent.

    We’ve chosen on this occasion to go down the middle and mostly focus on the data emitted by number crunchers at Gartner, which calculates that some 63.37 million PCs were shipped in the three months.

    “The PC market has hit the bottom of its decline after significant adjustment," said Mikako Kitagawa, director analyst at Gartner.

    However, this situation will likely change due to the anticipated component price hike in 2024, as well as geopolitical and economic uncertainties."

    Over at IDC, the analyst estimates that PC shipments were down 2.7 percent to 67.1 million, and also said the market has “bottomed out.”

    Things certainly seem to be improving but those heady days of the pandemic, when the total available market swelled to 350 million in 2021, seem like a long time ago.
