- Analysts link the expected 2026 slide to memory makers shifting DRAM and NAND to AI servers, which raises PC build costs and makes new systems harder to find, especially in lower‑cost tiers.
- In China’s Q4 vendor ranks, Lenovo led with 4.6 million PCs for a 40% share, Huawei held 11% and HP 10%, while tablets were led by Huawei at 26% and Apple at 25%.
