IDC: Q3 PC sales weren’t as awful as expected


PC sales are still shrinking but they aren’t shrinking as quickly as previously feared. The latest numbers from IDC show that PC sales declined by 7.6 percent year-over-year in the third quarter of 2013, although this is actually an improvement from IDC’s original projection of a 9.5 percent decline.
The world’s three biggest PC makers led the charge in the not-as-bad-as-expected quarter, as Lenovo, HP and Dell all posted modest year-over-year increases in sales in Q3 2013. But while sales from the PC industry’s big three have stabilized, sales from smaller players Asus and Acer continued to plummet year-over-year by more than 34 percent each during the quarter.
