The PC market will shrink for the second year running as tablets gain momentum, reports IDC.
Last year the PC market sharnk 3.7%, this year it will shrink 1.6% say the analysts.
That's a shrink from 350m units in 2012 to 345m in 2013.
Desktops will shrink 4.2% while notebooks will grow 1%.
Without growth from emerging markets, the fall would have been much steeper. And growth in emerging markets is slowing.
