Demand from e-Learning and remote working gave a boost to the notebooks and laptop segment of the personal computer market in India in 2020. The calendar year 2020 ended as the biggest year for notebooks with 7.9 million unit shipments during the year. Notebook shipments grew by 6 per cent in 2020, said the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker.
