Global PC market sales saw a 1 percent growth in Q4 last year after more than two years of decline.
Market research firm Gartner says fourth quarter PC shipments grew during the popular holiday shopping season, the Verge reported.
Mikako Kitagawa, principal analyst at Gartner said that the PC market is quietly stabilizing after the installed base reduction driven by users diversifying their device portfolios.
Kitagawa added that since tablets have mostly penetrated some key markets, consumer spending is slowly shifting back to PCs.
According to Gartner, some 83.7 million units were shipped between October and December last year, with the US showing the highest growth in the quarter, the report added.
