I not sure about you ever notice it. Lot of small business or minor processes are using tablet now. (iPad or Android), rather than a laptop.

Last week just change maxis sims card. At first I tot they using laptop or some sort. End up they using iPad and they ask me to sign on the iPad.

im still using my zombie rig 6 yo. only chg psu & gpu 1 time. still can own in bf1.

why buy because can build.

Ayam too poorfag for a complete rig upgrade. Need to save money for something else.

bcoz all use mobile n an go internet

last time cannot

if u dnt use it for multiple processes, thn i think its fine
but for my job or personal life
i use the PC to run multiple processes and software, so i need a PC that can handle it
like recently my PC at company broke down, i use my colleague PC...dual core
damn, opening my excel file took quite some time
thn when i move something from a tab to another, the whole excel freeze thn crash

Unless you want to get a Mac... You can't build Mac!!

i the trend continued, the cost to own a computer will be more expensive in future.

partly need to blame those hardware manufacturer, like 6600k to 7700k no reason to upgrade.

Gaming and workstation is still growing though at a slower pace. Could be saturation as well.

AMD is mostly in embedded now. Even Nvidia's main growth is from automobile and servers these days.

A typical case is most people still needs a pc or notebook but spends most of their time on phones and replaces phones much more often than their pc/nb.

Myself for instance has gone through 6 phones and 3 tablets since i last spent any money on my nb. Thats why PC shipments are dropping.

Computer need to change 1? Still using my laptop bought 8 yrs ago and performing.

PC tech has already gone into very mature stage. Those hungry for new one most probably are gaming person. a normal pc can last for more than 4 years when some part faulty that easily can be replace like HDD, RAM, GC or PSU or even Mobo. Ppl don't get change whole PC unless part are not available in the market.

invest a SSD can last for another 3 years. Believe me.

sales fall? doesn't matter as long as pc is master race.

in b4 mobile gadget > all.

console is taking over the world

Phone is a bit different though. Mainly because the software is depending on the manufacturer. Most phone are not updated after 1 or 2 years.
