PC shipments were down in the first quarter despite gains in the enterprise from the Windows 10 refresh, according to stats from both Gartner and IDC. Gartner reported that PC shipments totaled 11 million units in Q1 2019, down 6.3 percent from a year ago. Globally, Gartner said shipments reached 58.5 million. Remarkably, IDC came up with the exact same figure for global PC shipments.
According to IDC, the shortage of Intel processors led to some contraction in the quarter, but the commercial and enterprise segment was buoyed by ongoing Windows 10 migration deployments.
