The PC faces stiff competition from things like smartphones, tablets, smart TV’s and more. As a consumer you are faced with a plethora of products competing for your dollars. PCs have become less interesting, yet we all need them. What kind of innovations do we need to see with PC’s in order to capture our attention again?

Depending on which PC forecasts you follow, you would find out that PC shipments are off anywhere between 8-15%. HP’s recent earnings call highlighted the fact that PC sales were in decline by announcing their own PC sales declining 5%.

The makers of personal computers need to face the reality that right now PC”s are boring.

So what can be done about it?

A lot can be done, actually, its just a matter of who is going to step up and push the envelope. Intel and AMD both have internal efforts to help re-invigorate the PC market but ultimately it’s the hardware makers who need to design and create hardware that can capture consumers attention and generate excitement around PCs again.
