Higher Worldwide Demand for Chromebooks and Low-Cost PCs

Overall worldwide PC shipments are expected to fall by -3.7 percent in 2014, that’s a slight improvement from the previous forecast of -6 percent, according to IDC. Notebook PCs have made some progress addressing tablet competition with more slim, touch, and low-cost models available.
Growth of Chromebooks is also contributing to the PC outlook.
