Introduction

Abstract

This IDC study provides residual value forecasts and current fair market value data for portable personal computers from tier 1 vendors. The study explains the current market conditions that are affecting the value of used hardware on the secondary market and what future technological changes will further impact these values. We explore the factors impacting the desktop market and the price/performance increases expected over the next several years. This information helps those who invest in desktop hardware assess their risk and provides guidance on the amount of residual value that is expected to be realized at the end of lease term.

"The positive and encouraging signs of PC shipment growth in the United States are a double-edged sword to IT leasing and financing organizations with large portfolios of PC equipment. While technology improvements and lower price points motivate upgrades, IDC anticipates that the influx of N-2 and N-3 systems from the aging installed base will degrade residual values of portable PCs on the secondary market." — Jennifer Koppy, research manager, IDC' s Technology Valuation
