Global personal-computer shipments will increase less than previously predicted this year and next as consumers curb spending, research firm Gartner Inc. said.
Shipments will rise 3.8 percent to 364 million units in 2011, compared with an earlier projection of 9.3 percent, the Stamford, Connecticut-based company said today on its website. Shipments will probably increase 10.9 percent in 2012, compared with an earlier forecast of 12.8 percent, Gartner said.
