Aug. 17 – Global notebook shipments fell 15 percent year-over-year in Q2 2022, according to a report released this morning by Strategy Analytics. Despite the challenges, laptop sales and average selling prices are much better than before the outbreak for all vendors, and this trend will continue.
The report notes that Chromebook shipments continued to decline, down 53 percent year-over-year, due to lower education demand in 2022. HP was hit hard again in the quarter, with its global shipments down 29 percent.
