    There was a time when personal computers, or rather laptops, were considered far

    from a common man's reach in India; however, over the past five to six years, PCs
    and laptops have become as common as TVs in India. Unlike
    TV sets or desktops, laptops give its owner and operator a much needed company.
    Laptops are loaded with a number of helpful features and look beautiful too. In the
    recent years, the laptop segment of computers has surpassed the desktop sales.
    However, the sales of personal computer, including laptops, have dropped
    unexpectedly in the calendar year of 2014. According to the market research done
    by International Data Corporation (IDC), a dip in sales up to 16.5 percent was
    registered as far as the sales of personal computers in India are concerned. Around
    9.6 million personal computers were sold in India during 2014. The revenue
    generated through personal computers sales saw a negative growth of -0.4 percent
    as compared to that of 2013. Big corporate houses and business entities bought only
    4.7 million units at a staggering -29.6 percent growth rate and government and state
    education establishment showed little interest in buying computers. This is being
    seen as a result of revolutionary growth in demand of smartphones and tablets in the
    recent times.
