Is this because of the economic slowdown as the article suggests, or simply because 2020-2021 covid lockdowns lead to a big surge in buying of computer hardware, and therefore a big drop now given that modern computers last a lot longer and everyone is equipped?

  Computer hardware doesn't drive the economy. You can have a slowdown in computer buying that isn't the result of a general economic slowdown.
