According to the latest report from market research firm Canalys , the number of computers shipped globally in the third quarter reached 65.6 million devices, an increase of 8% compared to the second quarter.
This is considered a good sign for the computer market, especially in the context of the current economic recession. However, this figure is still 7% lower than the third quarter of 2022.

According to Canalys , Lenovo was the market leader with 16 million units shipped in the third quarter, down 4% year-on-year. Second place went to HP with 13.5 million units shipped, up 6.5%.
Dell came in third with 10.2 million computers shipped, down 14.3% from 2022. Apple came in fourth with a 29.1% drop in computer shipments to just 6.4 million units.
"Many of the issues that have hindered market growth have been resolved. Therefore, manufacturers can expect increased demand from the market. Artificial intelligence (AI) is likely to become the new trend for the industry," said Kieren Jessop, an expert at Canalys .
Accordingly, computers with integrated AI are expected to be sold on the market from 2025. Canalys also predicts that this amount will quickly increase to about 60% by 2027.
This trend could help computer manufacturers and their partners benefit from higher prices for AI-integrated devices, while also allowing manufacturers to tap into more solutions and services.
