Seagate, Asus report PC market is getting stronger

According to Seagate Technology, Asus and a number of other major players are reporting an upturn in PC sales, which could potentially follow a strengthening of the market. This impression is further corroborated by tech analysis firm Moor Insight & Strategy’s Patrick Moorhead, who believes that this upturn is only the beginning.

According to Intel, there is at least 500 million computers, worldwide, that are over four years old, and running potentially outdated operating systems and software, which plays to the advantage of PC users who seem increasingly interested in Microsoft’s new operating system, Windows 10, which provides a similar experience to Windows XP and Windows 7, with vastly upgraded functionality and stability.

Intel’s upcoming Skylake processor is also a reason for PC makers to feel increasingly optimistic, as the new line of processors promises a massive improvement in performance in new computers.

Last, but not the least, cutting edge biometric technology powered by Windows Hello and Intel RealSense 3D cameras, has the potential to attract consumers interested in advanced security and privacy.

Among the companies to watch in the last quarter of 2015, Lenovo will provide important benchmark data on PC sales, which are expected to total 281.6 million worldwide. While this figure does represent a 9 percent drop in respect to last year, the points made above, about the availability of brand new, cutting edge technology, and the release of an operating system that is already been described by consumers as the “best Windows yet”, 2016 promises to be a very good year for PC manufacturers and retailers who have been waiting for the right combination of features, technology and price range.
