A new report predicts worldwide sales of personal computers are expected to decline this year, for the first time in 11 years.
The trend can be blamed on the shift to smaller devices, such as tablets and smartphones.
The forecast from research firm IHSI Suppli predicts nearly 349-million PC’s will be shipped this year, which is a one per cent decrease from 2011.
