Digital Trends – Market analysis firm Gartner has updated its forecast for PC sales during 2010—and the numbers have some good news and some bad news for the PC industry. The good news is that worldwide PC sales are up 14.3 percent so far in 2010 compared to 2009, a sign that both consumers and businesses are buying computers again in the wake of the worldwide economic downturn. The bad news is that Gartner originally predicted 2010 PC sales growth of 17.9 percent, and Gartner is dialing back its forecast for overall growth in PC sales for 2011: instead of growing by 18.1 percent next year, Gartner is now forecasting a 15.9 percent increase, due in no small part to consumers’ interest in tablet computing.
