War: Huge drop in computer sales in Russia
  • According to one of the market participants, 528,000 computers worth 33 billion rubles were sold in the second quarter. This is respectively 40 and 45 percent less than in the first quarter of the year. MTS calculated that in April-June, 15 percent fewer computers were sold than in the same period in 2021.

    An employee of one of the retailers attributed the fall to a shortage of devices on the market, as well as a reduction in purchasing power and the desire of the population to save money.

    But not so fast :-)

    Also note that manufacturers spend 90% of marketing now on notebooks, desktops are left, because they are very bad for profits and can last very long time.

    For example X370 or good B350 motherboard can take latest AMD AM4 chips and still be actual in next 5-6 years.
