In 2020, personal computer (PC) shipments are forecast to reach 276 million units, an increase compared to the previous year. The rise has been attributed, in part, to the outbreak of COVID-19, also known as novel coronavirus, which has increased demand, particularly as people have been forced to work and learn from home.
