Omdia said Q1 2026 US PC shipments (ex-tablets) fell 7.0% YoY to 15.8 mln units, the largest YoY decline since Q3 2023. It attributed the drop to supply constraints and cost pressure from sharp memory and storage price increases, a demand pull-forward after the end of the Windows 11 upgrade cycle that weighed on near-term commercial demand, and base effects that amplified the YoY fall.
