ComputerWeekly.com - Corporate PC refreshes give life to limp PC market

Stunted PC market growth will be supported by business PC replacements and refreshes throughout 2011, according to industry analysts.

The latest figures by Gartner show global PC shipments in 2011 will grow 9%, which is lower than previous predictions of 11% growth. As consumer spending continues to fall, Gartner says PC unit growth will be driven by business purchases.

"Businesses sharply reduced replacements and extended PC lifetimes in response to the recession," said Raphael Vasquez, research analyst at Gartner.
