4 Reasons the PC Market Will Be Reborn
Konrad Krawczyk at Digital Trends outlines 4 compelling reasons the PC Market could be on the verge of a rebirth.
End of Windows XP support
The end of Windows XP support is forcing a notable amount of people to ditch their PCs and get new ones.
New, super-cheap laptops are about to hit the market

It may be 85 degrees and icky outside (in New York City, at least).

One of things bound to come up often will be “new computer/laptop.”
And that’s when the aforementioned super-cheap Windows laptops will come in.
