Honestly I feel strangely optimistic after seeing this graph. If the current pricing hellscape only makes the market dip by 14% in 2026 that's not too bad. And let's talk absolute numbers: they sold nearly 30 million prebuilts to consumers in 2025???? And only US consumers at that. And for consumers it supposedly only dipped a few hundred thousand? I may just be naive, but this looks like a fairly stable market ( rampocalypse notwithstanding ). I was expecting much worse after hearing the report about ms windows' base shrinking by the hundreds of millions a year due to mobile.
