Dell sees coronavirus pandemic pushing enterprises shifting from desktops to laptops

The Covid-19 pandemic is moving organisations away from desktops to laptops across the world. Vivekanand Manjeri, Brand Director, Client Solutions Group, Dell Technologies, India says this shift in consumption “from fixed computing to mobility” is more apparent in certain verticals that are more service-oriented and public sector organisations.

Some companies have been quick to embrace the new ‘normal’, Manjeri elaborates, while others are now shifting from fixed computing to mobility. “It happened in two phases.”

While Manjeri agrees that in certain verticals the demand has shifted out of desktop computing, he said the desktop form factor isn’t dead yet.
