A hack into main measure on the decline in sales we find the tablet solutions, which decreased up to 39 million units in the quarter with a contraction of 15%.

All major manufacturers have seen sales in the negative, with Dell that has managed to be more than the other the descent due to a more balanced mix of products. Apple and Lenovo have closed with very similar in terms of sales volumes, while HP follows shortly spaced in third place.
