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. PC demand has been hit by competition from smartphones and tablets, along with longer lifecycles for PCs.
