It is the fault of China! Until the vast Chinese market dynamisait growth worldwide PC market. China is also 21% of the global market IDC noted. However, this country is affected in turn by a greater weakness of his growth as other major world markets. IDC attributes this weakness to Chinese New Year, a period that would not help sales, as well as anti-corruption measures that slow sales also! The Chinese market has been worse than expected, March will allow him to catch up, not enough to push up the global market, according to IDC.

However, the decline could be even double-digit this quarter it will be a little less strong in the second quarter before the market is experiencing a positive growth in the second half of 2013.
