5% global layoffs, plummets seems like a exageration but we will see

  37 percent decline in PC shipments in Q4, 2022 compared to the previous year.

    Despite the significant downturn, shipping is close to the same numbers reported in 2019, before the effects of COVID. Q4 2021 was ~60% more units shipped than Q4 2019, this is a reversion to the mean.

  Dell definitely seem to be suffering more than their competitors, with a 37% decline vs 28% average (though Apple will be skewing the figures somewhat with only a 2% decline). https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS50031623 https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS50031623

    If you exclude Dell and Apple, the others average -27.35%. So basically Dell and Apple are the two outliers here.

      Dell built an empire around perfecting the custom built PC sales chain, Apple built one around almost no customization at all. And now laptops are commodities - rarely do you need something that isn’t just off the shelf.

      Thanks for pointing this out.

  Demand for PCs is plummeting, not staffing levels.
