The demand for notebook PCs has been steadily increasing over the years, bolstered mainly by the rise of remote work and online education due to COVID-19. As the world gradually lifts restrictions following the easing of the pandemic, the pandemic dividend for global notebook PCs is expected to fade away in 2023, according to Angela Huang, industry analyst with MIC (Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute).

"Although the market is facing a decline in demand, AMD, Intel, and Nvidia have continued to roll out new processors in the first quarter of 2023 and innovations in technology such as faster processors are likely to continue to drive replacement demand for notebook PCs in 2023," Huang added.
