Falling global demand for personal computers (PC) saw shipments fall by a record 10. 6% in the fourth quarter from a year ago, according to market research firm IDC. About 71. 9 million units were shipped in the period, which includes the key Christmas shopping season. IDC said the decline was the worst since it started tracking PC shipments.
