The post-pandemic laptop refresh cycle is gaining momentum as users with devices bought during the pandemic are now encountering performance issues and the impending end of Windows 10 support. Circular Computing highlights the demand for remanufactured laptops as an alternative, predicting a significant market shift. Their research indicates both commercial and consumer segments are planning serious investments to upgrade aging technology, which began surging in 2020 due to remote work necessity.
Five years ago, news of the first Covid-19 restrictions and a global chip shortage sparked a pandemic buying spree as consumers and businesses rushed to get their hands on technology ahead of the national lockdown.
Fast forward to 2025, and a lot of these devices bought for working from home will now look a little long in the tooth and may be starting to struggle on performance.
The pandemic, with its lockdown in March 2020, saw the demand for laptops surge as people needed to work from home. As a result, PC shipments grew to 275 million units in 2020.
Circular Computing has carried out its own research that confirms the expectations of serious investments by both commercial and consumer segments.
