Ngokwedatha yamva nje evela kwiCanalys, ngoku eyinxalenye ye-Omdia, ukuthunyelwa okupheleleyo kweedesktops, iilaptops kunye neendawo zokusebenza kukhule nge-7.4% ukuya kwiiyunithi ezingama-67.6 ezigidi kwikota yesibini ka-2025. Ukuthunyelwa kweelaptops (kuquka neendawo zokusebenza eziphathwayo) kufike kwiiyunithi ezingama-53.9 ezigidi, kunyuke nge-7% xa kuthelekiswa nonyaka ophelileyo. Ukuthunyelwa kweedesktops (kuquka neendawo zokusebenza zedesktops) kunyuke nge-9% ukuya kwiiyunithi ezili-13.7 ezigidi. Umthamo wekota yesibini uqhutywe kukuthunyelwa kweePC zorhwebo ngaphambi kokuphela kwenkxaso yeWindows 10, ngoku iinyanga ezimbalwa kuphela. Imfuno yabathengi yayibuthathaka, njengoko abathengi kwihlabathi liphela bejongene nekamva elingaqinisekanga lezoqoqosho. Indlela yolawulo lukaTrump etshintsha rhoqo kwaye ingacacanga kwiirhafu iyaqhubeka nokuvelisa ukungaqiniseki okukhulu. Ngelixa iiPC zazikhululwe kwiirhafu kwikota yesibini, iimpembelelo ezingathanga ngqo zisongela kungekuphela nje i-US kodwa nokubuyiselwa kwimarike yePC yehlabathi.

“Imigaqo-nkqubo yerhafu eguqukayo yolawulo lukaTrump iyaqhubeka nokubumba ngokutsha uthotho lwee-PC zehlabathi ngelixa ibangela ukungaqiniseki okukhulu malunga nokubuyiselwa kwemarike,” utshilo uBen Yeh, uMhlalutyi oyiNtloko eCanalys, ngoku eyinxalenye ye-Omdia. “Ukungeniswa kwee-PC e-US kuye kwatshintsha kakhulu ukusuka eTshayina ukuya eVietnam njengoko abavelisi befuna ukuphepha uthotho lweerhafu ezinokubakho. Nangona uthotho lweerhafu zikaTrump zokubuyiselana luye lwalibaziseka kwakhona, ngeli xesha ukuya kumhla woku-1 ku-Agasti, kwaye ii-PC okwangoku zisakhululekile kwiirhafu nokuba zivela phi, ukungaqiniseki okukhoyo kuyaqhubeka.” Isivumelwano sorhwebo sakutshanje phakathi kwe-US neVietnam simisela uthotho lweerhafu ezingama-20% kwiimpahla zaseVietnam kunye noluhlu lweerhafu ezingama-40% kwizinto ezidluliselwayo. “Oko kwaqala njengokungaphepheki lula eTshayina kuye kwaguquka kwaba yingxaki enzima yokulawula. Umbuzo ophambili kukuba ingaba ii-PC ezenziwe eVietnam zisebenzisa izinto zaseTshayina okanye ngemisebenzi elawulwa yiTshayina ziya kuhlelwa njengotshintsho kwaye zijongane noluhlu lweerhafu ezingama-40%. Njengoko imiqathango yokunyanzeliswa ingachazwanga, abadlali bemarike bajongene nenyaniso yokuba ukwahlukahlukana kothotho lweentengiso kukodwa kusenokungaboneleli ngozinzo lweendleko ababelufuna ekuqaleni.”

“Nangona kukho ukungaqiniseki kwihlabathi liphela, umhla wokugqibela wokuxhaswa kweWindows 10 kulo Okthobha ubonelela ngozinzo olubalulekileyo kwimarike, kodwa uchaphazela ngokwahlukileyo amacandelo abathengi kunye namashishini,” utshilo uKieren Jessop, uMphathi woPhando kwiCanalys, ngoku eyinxalenye ye-Omdia. “Umjikelo wokuhlaziywa kwezorhwebo ubonelela ngomfutho obalulekileyo kwimarike. Uphando lukaJuni lwamaqabane etshaneli afunyenwe ukuba ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha balindele ukuba ishishini labo lePC likhule unyaka nonyaka kwisiqingatha sesibini sika-2025, kunye ne-29% elindele ukukhula okungaphezulu kwe-10%. Ngelixa amashishini ebonisa imvakalelo enkulu yongxamiseko ekuphenduleni ekupheleni kweWindows 10, abathengi bayalibazisa ukuthengwa phakathi kokungaqiniseki kwezoqoqosho. Njengoko ezo zinto zithengwa ngabathengi zityhalelwa ku-2026, silindele ukuba imakethi yePC yabathengi ikhule kunyaka ozayo njengoko ihambelana nomjikelo wokuhlaziywa kwezixhobo zexesha le-COVID, eziqala ukufikelela esiphelweni sobomi bazo.”

Kwikota yesibini ka-2025, iLenovo igcine isikhundla sayo njengenkokeli kwimarike yePC yehlabathi, ithumela iidesktops kunye neelaptops ezili-17.0 lezigidi, ukonyuka konyaka nge-15.2%. I-HP ibambe indawo yesibini ngeeyunithi ezili-14.1 lezigidi ezithunyelweyo, nto leyo ephawula ukonyuka konyaka nge-3.2%. I-Dell, kwindawo yesithathu, ibone ukwehla kwe-3.0% kwiimpahla ezithunyelwayo, zizonke zifikelela kwi-9.8 lezigidi zeeyunithi. I-Apple ifumene indawo yesine ngokukhula okumangalisayo kwe-21.3%, ifikelela kwi-6.4 lezigidi zeeyunithi kunye nesabelo semarike se-9.4%. I-Asus igqibe ezintlanu eziphezulu ngokukhula kwe-18.4%, ithumela iiyunithi ezizizigidi ezi-5.0.
