The year 2020 led to the increase in demand for high-performance technology due to the sudden change in work trends brought forth by the pandemic.

Another report indicates that the device manufacturers have shipped nearly 89 million notebooks in the quarter, owing to the increased demand for computation devices. The demand has led to the increase in notebook sales by 49% year-over-year in Q1, and companies are forecasting a year-over-year growth of around 4% for Q2. However, many analysts claim that some devices could have their demand see a steep decrease over the next year.

Where are [these new users] coming from? Not this planet.”
