Oh boy, here we go. So, I was reading about this whole PC market thing, and wow, what a mess. They’re freaking out because of those Trump tariffs. But hey, “AI PCs” might keep people interested.
So, the gist is—PC manufacturers, they’re biting their nails. These tariffs keep changing like a soap opera plot twist. Importing stuff got pricier, so they started hoarding shipments like squirrels with nuts. Can’t blame them, right? Anyway, there was this report, Counterpoint Research or something, talking about the PC scene in 2025’s second quarter. Growth happened, they said, but the future vibes? Kinda gloomy.
And then, outta nowhere, Windows 10’s end had everyone scrambling. It’s like everyone remembered they needed new gadgets. Plus, this AI PC thing, turning heads, especially with those commercial buyers. Personally, I’m still clueless why AI in PCs is such a big deal, but it sticks with me like that weird dream about flying I had once.
There’s some quote in there—blah blah, something about tariffs and inventories. Anyway—wait, yeah, so HP and Dell are playing the waiting game. Probably sipping coffee, watching to see how the tariff drama unfolds. Those pro folks are snatching up PCs ‘cause Windows 10 is waving goodbye. Meanwhile, folks like me are just all about the mid-range AI laptops. Beyond that? The market’s holding its breath, not knowing what’ll happen next.
Oh, another quote. Expecting more than half of the laptops in 2026 to be AI-powered or something. Sounds fancy, but we’ll see.
Oh, here’s the kicker—manufacturers are trying to dodge China. Heading to places like Vietnam or Mexico. It’s like playing Risk but with real-life consequences. Semiconductor tariffs might join the party too, so everyone’s kinda nervous. Unless, you know, tariffs just vanish into thin air. But let’s be real, what are the odds?
