PC Industry Takes The Pain Despite Netbook Booms
- 2 Comment
Despite notable surges in the PC industry, the recession has continued to burn producers with revenue in the PC industry falling for the first time in recent years according to itvoir.com.
The drop was noted year-over year, continuing even as netbooks gained momentum at lower selling points. However, many are blaming those very selling points for the decline in revenue.
Figures indicate that notebook sales have declined 20% over those in the same period last year, while netbook prices have declined by 29%. This last figure, however, seems a bit dubious, considering the recent release of a horde of high-end machines.
Revenue for the portable PC market dropped by 5% over the same period.
