Fall of 10% PC sales in EMEA

The most recent analysis by Gartner confirms the state of difficulty in which is located the PC market, including regions EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) in which also includes Italy. During the first three months of 2016 have been sold about 19.5 million PCs in these areas, a decline of 10% in volume compared to the same period of 2015.

This data is aligned to the contraction of 9.6% recorded by Gartner globally in this time period. In the EMEA market occurred some clear trends, with a central drop in sales of PC solutions for the professional public. The justification for this is given by the expectation with which professionals look to new proposals based on operating system Windows 10, for which it is awaiting the renewal of the fleet and more towards the end of 2016.

However, what emerges is also a considerable interest in the category of notebook solutions of more reduced thickness and for models 2-in-1, capable of capturing sales both in the consumer sector as in the professional. positive demand even for notebook solutions for gamers, the EMEA consumers have shown their appreciation. The growth from these two niches is not, however, been such as to balance the overall contraction in the demand for new PC systems.

HP remains the quarter the major PC vendor in EMEA, with a market share of 22.4%; Lenovo ranked second with 18.8%, increasing in this quarter the distance of HP compared to the same period last year. Asus is in third place with 10.9%, the only company able to increase the volume of PCs sold in the quarter compared to last year. In fourth place are Dell with about 10% and the fifth Acer with 7.8% of the market total. The remaining producers, taken together, represent 30.1% of the market.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
