Though pundits and analysts have called for the death of the PC market for years, it continues to drive forward. That doesn’t mean this is a market without change.

Though all major PC manufacturers are attempting to take advantage of that premium trend, HP has been the front-runner for the last generation of systems, capitalizing to gain market share and take the top position, replacing Lenovo as the worldwide unit shipments leader for the first time in more than four years.
