STAMFORD, CT – Worldwide PC shipments will drop 6% in 2009 to 274 million units, says Gartner Inc. in a revised forecast. The firm had predicted a decline of 6.6% in May, and a 9.2% drop in March. Gartner expects a 10% decrease in the second and third quarters, but predicts growth in the fourth quarter compared to 2008. The firm also expects shipments to increase 10.3% in 2010. Netbooks are expected to reach 21 million units in 2009 and 30 million next year, the firm says. Gartner forecasts mobile PC units to increase 4.1% in 2009, but expects revenue to fall 12.8%. Desktops are expected to decrease 15.7%, with a 26.6% drop in spending.
