New work order: Notebook sales hit an all-time high, courtesy work-from-home amid Covid

The lockdown and work from home (WFH) saw demand for notebooks hit an all-time high, with even companies placing large-scale orders for employees to ensure business continuity. Notebook sales saw a whopping 105.5% y-o-y growth during the April-June period.

As per analysts, Q2FY2020 has had some bright moments for the domestic PC market as decline in desktops and workstations was to an extent arrested by the huge demand for laptops. Traditionally, January-March sees an increase in demand, but due to Covid, the pent up demand shifted to Q2. Besides, WFH further perked up the market for notebooks.
