Global PC shipments fell 3.6% year-over-year to 65.7 million units in the second quarter of 2026, according to Omdia, as rising memory and storage costs pushed up prices and dampened demand. Desktop workstation shipments declined 1.3% to 13.9 million units, while notebook shipments including mobile workstations fell 4.2% to 51.7 million units. A June survey found about 60% of channel partners said customers were delaying or canceling PC refreshes due to supply constraints and higher prices, with comparable product line prices up 20% to 40% from a year earlier. Lenovo led the market with a 25.3% share, followed by HP at 19.8% and Dell at 14.1%, while Apple increased its share to 11.1% from 9.2% a year earlier on strong MacBook demand.
