PC market to decline for a second consecutive year in 2013, says IDC: Despite intense industry efforts to overcome market inertia, 2012 nonetheless ended on a sour note with global PC shipment volume shrinking 3.7% on year. With limited initial traction from Windows 8 in the holiday season, and continued pressure from tablets, IDC now expects PC shipments to decline by 1.3% in 2013.
