Global PC shipments fell for the second consecutive quarter in Q3 2026, totaling 55.4 million units, a 22.4% decline from Q3 2025. Higher prices caused by expensive memory and storage components reduced availability of affordable devices like laptops. Gartner noted that vendors prioritized scarce components for higher-priced models, limiting replacement purchases and shifting business spending to targeted investments such as workstations and AI PCs.
