年第四季度全球PC出货量创新低

Falling global demand for personal computers (PC) saw shipments fall by a record 10.6% in the fourth quarter from a year ago, according to market research firm IDC.

据市场研究公司IDC数据显示，个人电脑（PC）的需求正在下降，在2015年第四季度，全球PC出货量下跌了10.6%。

About 71.9 million units were shipped in the period, which includes the key Christmas shopping season. IDC said the decline was the worst since it started tracking PC shipments.

包括圣诞购物季在内，第四季度的电脑出货量共计7190万台。IDC方面表示，这是自IDC公司开始追踪该数据以来最大的降幅。

PC demand has been hit by competition from smartphones and tablets, along with longer lifecycles for PCs. Shipments fell in all regions around the world and have declined for five quarters in a row, according to IDC's figures.

个人电脑使用周期延长，再加上智能手机和平板电脑带来的竞争，大大抑制消了消费者对PC的需求。据IDC数据显示，全球各地区的电脑出货量均连续5个季度出现下滑。

Apple was the only top five PC maker to see shipments grow last year, up over 6%, while Acer saw the biggest fall, of more more than 18%.

在世界五大电脑制造商中，苹果公司是去年唯一一家出货量保持增长的公司，涨幅超过了6%；宏碁公司则是下跌幅度最大，下跌超过了18%。

Chinese tech giant Lenovo, however, remained at the top of the market - owning more than 20% of it. HP followed in second place, with Dell third and Apple and ASUS tied for the fourth spot.

中国的科技巨头联想仍是PC市场的老大--占有市场份额的20%以上。惠普和戴尔分别名列第二、第三，苹果和华硕电脑并列第四。
