Recently, Counterpoint Research data shows that the global PC market has achieved high growth for six consecutive quarters. It was not until the third quarter of this year that the month-on-quarter growth rate of the PC market slowed down.
In the PC market, brand rankings have not changed much. Apple, which has been gaining momentum in the past two months, has maintained high growth, although it has not won the first place. The data shows that Lenovo, HP and Dell are ranked in the top three, and Apple is in fourth place, with shipments increasing by 11% year-on-year. Industry insiders said that Apple's high growth is closely related to the arrival of the M1 series of chips.
From the perspective of consumers, analysts in the data department of the transfer group believe that the competition in the PC market has been fierce, especially in the current supply chain shortage, which has a considerable impact on consumer purchase opportunities. If you are in a hurry to use it, you may wish to go up to the transfer platform to take a look, there are many high-quality, guaranteed equipment in the Yanxuan store that is worth starting.
The M1 series of chips has driven the high growth of Apple's PC product line
How is the global PC market performing in the post-pandemic era?
According to Counterpoint Research data, global PC product shipments have continued to grow for six consecutive quarters, reaching 84.2 million units in the third quarter of 2021. However, the market growth rate slowed down sequentially, with only 9.3% sequential growth in the third quarter, breaking the double-digit growth record of the past four consecutive quarters, and the growth value fell to the number of units.
In terms of rankings, PC manufacturers are consistent with the performance of the previous quarter. Lenovo won the first place with a market share of 23.9%, with shipments reaching 20.1 million units. HP and Dell ranked second and third with market shares of 20.5% and 18.1%, respectively. Apple came in fourth, with 7.3 million units shipped with an 8.7% market share.
However, the top four brand manufacturers have differences in the growth rate of shipments, and Dell and Apple have the fastest year-on-year growth, reaching 30% and 11% respectively. In this regard, industry insiders pointed out that Dell is mainly due to the relatively low base last year, while Apple's high growth is mainly due to the birth of the M1 chip, which has brought high demand for macBooks.
After all, in the current PC market, only Apple has mastered the core technology. Last year, apple released three Mac Series products using its own chips after the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini were released at one time, which caused a lot of shock to the PC market. Until this year, the chain reaction in the market continued.
At Apple's second conference this year, the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips were released and won the highest degree of discussion. The two M1 series chips have directly become the fastest and most professional laptop chips at present.
Apple's device waiting period has been extended, and the used MacBook can be started at a super low price
It has to be said that the breakthrough update of Apple's PC product line has stimulated the market with slower growth.
However, the contradiction between supply and demand is still difficult to balance, and analysts in the data department of the transfer group said that due to the shortage of related components, the supply chain problem may be difficult to solve in the short term. Contact the high heat of Mac's latest products in the domestic market, and the time for consumers to arrive at the product is not expected to be short.
There is news that orders for the latest products such as the iPhone13 series, iPad mini, and MacBook Pro will not be shipped until mid-to-late November. And some older models of the MacBook Pro and the more expensive MacBook Air have also seen extended delivery times.
For consumers with purchase needs, instead of spending a long time waiting, it is better to buy a second-hand product on the transfer platform, enjoy a lower price, and have a perfect after-sales guarantee.
Consumers who want to experience Apple's own M1 series chips, not only have this year's new products to choose from, but also the MacBook Pro 2020 model is also a good choice. Equipped with M1 chip, 8-core CPU, the running speed is significantly improved. In the process of use, heat dissipation, battery life, etc. have also been upgraded to varying degrees, and the battery life can reach up to 20 hours.
If you are not entangled in the chip, the MacBook Air 2020 model is also recommended to buy, although there is no M1 chip support, but the performance of the Intel chip is still very strong. At the same time, it has a Magic keyboard, supports Touch ID unlocking, up to 11 hours of battery life, and has no problems with daily use.
In the transfer to the strict selection store, the 8G+256G 95 new MacBook Pro 2020 started at a price of 7178 yuan, which is 2800 yuan cheaper than the 9999 yuan on the official website. The 95 new MacBook Air 2020 model with the same memory configuration only costs 4608 yuan, which is equivalent to the cost of a new mid-range machine.
Choosing a transfer platform to start a MacBook is not only low in price, but also provides high-quality supporting services. All second-hand equipment has an official machine inspection guarantee, and after arriving, you can also enjoy the corresponding warranty and 7-day no-reason return and other services to solve after-sales concerns.
Even if the budget is not sufficient, you can sell the old machine back to the blood and then replace it with peace of mind, and then complete the entire replacement process without leaving the house.
It can be seen that in addition to the iPhone product line, Apple's PC product line has also begun to rise. The super update of the M1 series chip is a signal.
