The market for clone computers continues to sink, with a new drop in sales and it has been almost three years in a row, while the computer parts sector is in very good health.

Market research in computer science is relatively interesting, since it usually offers relatively useful information. An interesting piece of information is the significant setback that the world computer market is suffering, with a fall of 4.3% during the second quarter of this year, which means that there have already been eleven months of constant falls in this market. We are not talking about the computer market in general, we are talking about the market for clone computers or what is the same, the desktop computers that we can find in large areas assembled by HP, Lenovo, Apple, Dell, Acer or ASUS, far from computers by pieces, which have been rising for a long time.

We are facing a significant loss in weight and interest in the market for computer assembled and configured by manufacturers, with three years of significant declines, while the market for pieces of equipment continues to rise slowly but tirelessly. HP has managed to pass Lenovo in sales, with Hewlett Packard registering a shipment share of 12.69%, which allows it to have a market share of 20.8%. This is important because, to date, Lenovo was the leader in the market for manufacturer-built PCs.

It is clear, therefore, that clone computers lose interest and it is that for the price of a clone computer, we can have one that is much more powerful, with better quality hardware and to our liking. These machines are being confined to offices, schools or users looking for a plug-and-play device, without looking at specifications or anything. What is clear is that what this sector is losing is being carried out by the configurations by pieces, which has been increasing for some quarters.
