The articles reference data from PC sales of prebuilt PC manufacturers. More and more gamers, and young PC enthusiasts are choosing to build their own PC from sourced parts on sites like Newegg, Amazon, and others. The only thing this article shows me, is that people are starting to figure out that prebuilt computers are a waste of money. PC manufacturers are going the way of the Dinosaur the more people figure out that building their own, is cheaper, and the performance is better in the long run.
The article and the data reflects the broader market as a whole. PC gamers and PC enthusiasts are a minority in the overall sale of PCs on the market. The commercial market is also affected.
The article and the Data say specifically what they are counting, and it's only counting off shelf prebuilt computers. It does not reference the massive amount of people that are simply building their own now. As I've said in other threads, my daily Job is setting up IT centers across the US/South America and part of that job is assessing costs and allocating budget toward improvement areas.
It depends on the size of the center, and needs of the client on whether we purchase Dell, or outsource the builds to a 3rd party. Many small scale centers use custom built PCs, and the number of those centers doing so is increasing steadily. Of course with large companies we just order a few thousand Dells and get it over with. Some companies need more power for their money however. Typically, those are smaller centers are doing much more than just customer service calls.
So even in the commercial industry, people are switching from prebuilt to custom. If you find an article that is counting box brand vendors, and single components, and the number is still decreasing. I'd say there might be a point there. As it stands though, we don't have the info needed based on this article alone.
Notes: Data includes desk-based PCs, notebook PCs and ultramobile premium. All data is estimated based on a preliminary study. Final estimates will be subject to change. The statistics are based on shipments selling into channels.
Just reporting the news not here to argue it
You were doing a pretty good job arguing it, till counter points came your way. I'll return your LOL, since it's funny you think linking someone else's article is reporting. If you wanted to do some real reporting dig up some additional relevant facts to go with said article and give us something more than a copy pasta.
I respect the fact you're trying to spread information, but you don't need to disagree with people who have information to add, simply because it contradicts the article you thought relevant.

I did not disagree with you. At all actually. I thought it was funny that the data you have is in direct contradiction to the two data and statistic centers that the article is based on. I deliver news stories to Suzie here everyday and in posts when not related to MMOs directly. Calm down hero
I know what you do here, I'm just saying it's rude of you to LOL someone for posting relevant information when your article is only painting half a picture. It's good information to know, but I honestly don't think it's anything surprising, that's all. We know major PC vendors are in a declining market, we also know individual component manufacturers are making more money than ever with a few exceptions.
Yes it may be a bad time to invest directly in Lenovo, or HP, but it's not a bad time to invest in IT, or PC related products as a whole.
Just for fun, calculate how much your PC would cost in 1980! Basic costs back then: - 300 mb disk (SMD) cost $15,000 each - 1mb core memory cost about $10,000
My own PC is over $350 million, in 1980 dollars.
And the CPU and graphics? Forget it, nothing like that was available back then.

wow! awesome!
Each 300 mb disk was the size of a washing machine. I have a 3 terabyte disk at home on my PC, that would be 9,000 washing machines! Requires an entire building.
