Hot Take:

Looks like the corporate world is finally realizing that their Windows 10 PCs are not vintage wine—they don’t get better with age! Dell and HP are practically screaming, “Upgrade already!” But hey, if your new PC doesn’t come with AI, don’t worry, you can always just ask your outdated machine to become sentient and upgrade itself.

Key Points:

  • Dell and HP anticipate a big wave of PC refreshes, despite delays.
  • Windows 10 end-of-life is pushing companies to consider upgrades.
  • AI-enabled PCs are expected to drive future demand, but probably not this year.
  • Economic uncertainty has slowed down the pace of upgrades.
  • Current adoption rates of Windows 11 lag significantly behind Windows 10.
