Nothing shiny about US Chromebook sales anymore, plus war in Ukraine and inflation hits EMEA shipments

A collapse in Chromebook demand along with conflict in Europe and a worrying rise in inflation have led to the steepest decline in PC shipments in nine years., Gartner estimates worldwide sales-in – products taken in by retailers and distributors – at 72.011 million, down 12.6 percent year-on-year.

Apple was the only major top five vendor to report an expanding sales ledger, up 9.3 percent globally to 6.365 million. Gartner said, somewhat unsurprisingly, this was"driven by the popularity of the M1 device." In terms of regions, some 4 million fewer PCs were shipped into US channels during Q2 – and the blame was mostly apportioned to the less and less loved Chromebook form factor.
