Lenovo currently tops the chart with a 24 per cent market share, having shipped over 13,735 thousand PCs in Q1 2024. It is followed by HP with a 21 per cent market share, and Dell emerges as the third-biggest PC vendor in the first quarter of 2024 with a 16.2 per cent market share.

Compared to year-on-year performance, Dell has lost over 2.2 per cent of the market, while both Lenovo and HP have gained market share.

Apple, the only company that ships macOS devices, is currently the fourth-biggest company in the personal computing space, with a market share of 9.4 per cent and over 2.5 per cent year-on-year growth. This growth is boosted by the recently launched M3-powered 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models.

According to Canalys, the demand for PCs will continue to grow in 2024, with companies expected to ship over 50 million units of AI-enabled PCs this year. These laptops will include a dedicated AI accelerator, such as an NPU found on Intel’s “Meteor Lake” Core Ultra processors.
