PC industry freefall fastest on record, as phones and tablets take over
This is a pretty unpleasant whipping for juggernauts like HP, Dell and the like, and only Lenovo seems to be keeping it steady, even registering growth to 15.3% of the market share, making it very close to the still-leading HP. Lenovo, however, didn't sleep through the shift to mobile computing, and besides its adequately-priced traditional laptops, it issued a number of innovative form factors like the IdeaPad Yoga line, as well as a few phones and tablets of its own.
Bear in mind that the jaw-dropping slump in the slide above has the making of a full-blown crisis indeed, but the stats don't include tablets, and the professional computers even registered an upwards trend, dedicating the reasons for the nosedive solely to the average consumer, whose computing needs now seem to be satisfied very well from just phones and tablets.
