Intel: There's Never Been a Better Time to Buy a New PC

According to an IDC InfoBrief, sponsored by Intel, titled, "Exploring Our Digital Dependence" released this month, 97 percent of U.S. households say the personal computer (PC) is still their primary computing device and nearly half (41 percent) intend to upgrade their PC within the next year. Among parents and millennials, 54 percent intend to purchase a new PC in the next year. Americans spend more than 43 hours per week on a variety of compute devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops, 2 in 1 devices), but time spent on PCs dominates more than half of their digital device time (over 21 hours per week). Dubbed "the 5 Cs" in IDC's report, Americans would choose to give up crunches/exercise (73 percent), chocolate/sweets (71 percent), caffeine (65 percent), cable television (58 percent), and their car (33 percent) before giving up their PCs for one week.
